Ouagadougou, its buildings and shantytowns... Wealth in a modern
town and poverty in the suburbs. Through Fousseini -- a Muslim
firmly attached to his faith and traditions - and his family
HARAMUYA draws a picture of Ouagadougou in the traps of modernism
and traditionalism. Fousseini tries to take care of his family
according to the old precepts and the code of honor inherited
from his ancestors. One of his sons is a cinema projectionist
and supports all the family against the will of his wife. The
other son idles around all day long in Ouagadougou, looking
for a girlfriend.
