"In Rama's quest for freedom that leads to rebellion, she must find a balance between the Western ways she values and the traditions she respects."

Ramatoulaye is the mother of seven children and the headmistress of a primary school in Dakar. She has been married to Modou for 30 years and is shocked when he decides to take a second wife - 20-year-old Binetou. A merciless battle between tradition and modernity ensues, opposing very different views of women's roles in contemporary African society.
