Adama is a 12-year-old boy living in an unnamed West African village in 1916. Beyond the cliffs of his sheltered paradise, lies the World of Winds where World War I is raging. When his older brother runs away to join the Nassaras – the white men – Adama is determined to defy village elders and embark on a perilous quest to the Western Front to find him and bring him home. Simon Rouby‘s first feature blends sculpture with 2D and 3D animation to offer an insight into the contribution of African soldiers and nations to the Great War.
