Gwacoulou (2019)

Overview

The film Gwacoulou relates the legend of how peace was kept by the transformation of three pairs of twins and their mother into the three stones of a traditional home and its cauldron “the canari”. Nowadays, these stones are still one of the pillars of Bambara tradition in Africa. Their symbolism speaks to us of marriage and discretion, fraternity and solidarity, friendship and support.
