The Fishing Boats of Kayar

Documentary Short

After 15 years in Spain, Thimbo returns to his Senegalese fishing village, where he is overwhelmed by sensations of nostalgia and uprooting, yearning and resentment. He also grapples with the influence he exerts on the local youth, who see him as a role model and seek to emulate him through a perilous journey to Europe by boat.
