On Saturday, 25 August 2012 at 7 pm AfricAvenir invites to the Namibian Premiere of the feature „Ramata" (Senegal, 2009, 90 min) Leandre-Alain Baker (Congo).

Attention: New venue! The screening series „African Perspectives"has moved its venue. From now on, the series takes place at the Goethe-Centre Windhoek, Fidel Castro Str. 1-5, Windhoek.

Synopsis
The life of Ramata, married for 30 years to the Minister of Justice, radically changes when she meets, apparently coincidentally, a mysterious hustler free of all attachments.
In this studied adaptation of a novel by Abasse Ndione, Leandre Alain Baker boldly attempts to unite style and content by concentrating his film forcefully on the bewitching presence of Katoucha Niane (who tragically died after the film's shooting was completed), well known as a fashion model and whose ambiguous and brooding presence the film pointedly emulates. Her Ramata is a striking woman in her fifties who lives in an elegant neighbourhood of Dakar, married to a Minister of Justice with whom she is preparing to celebrate their thirtieth wedding anniversary.
Living in a golden cage, she is forced to confront this unsatisfactory image of herself when she meets Ngor Ndong, a person free of all attachments......
