Mother(s), the debut film by Maïmouna Doucouré, broaches the subject of polygamy with extreme discretion and sensitivity, observed through the eyes of a young Senegalese girl who lives in France with her mother. One day her father arrives with a new wife and baby, making her feel as though she had been robbed of a father and prompting her to commit a terrible act.

This prestigious win will enhance the international reputation of the film's production company Bien ou Bien Productions, helmed by the producer/director Zangro.
