Ici Repose

Together with her son Fodé, Mareme has recently moved to the suburbs of Dakar, where she does everything she can to fit in. One evening, her estranged eldest son, Barro, bursts into their home. Back in their hometown, he is under threat because he is gay. Despite tensions with Fodé, Mareme doesn't have the heart to close the door on Barro. She wants to believe that no one learns about Barro's homosexuality, and that she can protect him without endangering the new life she has built. Barro's secret is soon discovered, however, and the worst happens: he is lynched. When everyone around her refuses to give her son a proper burial, Mareme stands up against convention for the first time.
