"Mokili" is the chronicle of a few crucial weeks in the lives of two adolescents in modernsday Burkina Faso : Papou and Goumbé are worlds apart, reacting in opposite ways to heir approaching A-level ewams. The contracting way they deal with family and peer relations well as with the choices they opt for on drug and sex, easy money, forced marriage and corruption are revealing of the those of life faced by young people everywhere, but perhaps aven more particulary in contemporary African society today.
