      abstract = {Twenty-seven year old Altine is a mother of two, living on  the plains of Northern Senegal. As we watch her going about  her daily chores, rhythmically threshing the millet,  cooking over an open fire, she tells us of her aspirations.  Her strongest wish is for adequate food, good health, and  to remain close to her family. Images of Western life have  not penetrated her village which is three hours from a  paved road. This cinematically beautiful film captures life  in the dry season which lasts nine months. Cows and goats  share the dusty landscape. Villagers trek great distances  to bring back the heavy load of water for daily needs.  Although life is difficult, there is a dignity about the  people.},
