Recently the eldest boy, Madou, has brought his new wife, Lidy, into the family group. In this film we explore daily life in the compound as Djeneba assumes full responsibility for her family’s needs. Filmmaker, Bata Diallo, herself a Malian, engages Djeneba’s life-world in observational style and by way of intimate conversations. As well as the family we meet Nono, the old chief of Kadioloko. He’s a good friend of Djeneba and a renowned local philosopher with a wry world-view and a sense of humour to match. Djeneba and her family are from the agriculturalist Minyaka ethnic group but we also get to know some Fulani pastoralists who share the village of Kadioloko. “Djeneba” is an hour-long chronicle of quotidian life in rural Mali from a woman’s point of view.

The film follows Alhajji during the last years of his life, focusing on the relationships in a polygamous family.

Shot over several years, Wives provides rare, intimate glimpses into the dynamics of a West-African polygamous Muslim family, and the challenges faced by an older generation whose norms and values are losing legitimacy in a rapidly changing environment.
People do not use turn signals. People throw their bags next to them in the seat of the bus. People buy thousand watt stereos even though they live in blocks. Folk, ass. Halvor Johansson attacks everyone who deserves to hear it - from sluggish Trøndelag residents and spoiled bærum skids to people who believe that a handful of polished stones can cure cancer. He loves to get annoyed, whether it's about religion, politics or naughty inventions in everyday life. Halvor has also been out and about. He is not impressed, neither by air passengers who push themselves forward in the aisle at the expense of others when they get off, nor by all the lugubrious things that happen at spa hotels. And the food around the country? Pudding and grime - is it really necessary to offer people food no one likes? Fortunately, Halvor rallies with a twinkle in his eye, so here it is just a matter of opening the door to laughter and hoping that people will pull themselves together strongly.
