Drama A 17-year-old girl spends the Christmas holidays in Senegal with her brother and father. Tired of planned trips and the ceremonious actions of the hotel employees, as well as her father's behavior, she opens the door to the staff area and discovers a world that, although previously undiscovered, allows her to develop close and complex relationships.

	Media	Author	Review
		Jessica Kiang Variety	"A clear-eyed critique of tourism in post-colonial regions (...) Ballús doesn’t mistake good intentions for an intimate understanding of an experience that is not hers to claim."
		Jan Lumholdt Cineuropa	"[It] includes intricate layers that intertwine nicely (...) The post-colonial setting (...) gels perfectly with the story"
