Adama, 12, lives in a remote village of West Africa. Beyond the cliffs, lies the World of Winds. Where reign the Nassaras. One night, Samba, his older brother disappears. Adama, defying the laws of the elders, decides to go looking for him. He begins with the unwavering determination of a child becoming man, a quest that will take him beyond the seas, in the north to the First World War front lines in 1916. Sumptuous, terrible and exhilarating, Adama is remarkable for both its screenplay and its realisation. The film is a brilliant mix of animation techniques. In the end, we come out fascinated by this work, after having attended a show of breathtaking beauty.
