Synopsis
« UNDERTOWS - a tuareg tale » is a personal quest, a generational transmission. It is the hieratic journey of a filmmaker into the memory of his people. In the form of an intimate letter that the director addresses like a testament to his son, the film recounts the history, resistance and culture of the Tuareg. Shaken by colonisation, sedentarisation, droughts, rebellions and cyclical exile, the Tuaregs are attempting their ultimate survival.At once a testimony to the ongoing conflicts and a story told through storytelling, the film is also an existential journey, between sand and sea, exile and living memory.
