GARDEN CINEMA EVENT

Mambar Pierrette 18

Part of Film Africa 2024
Rosine Mbakam, Cameroon, France, Belgium, 2023, 93m.

Film Africa presents Mambar Pierrette.


The city of Douala, Cameroon is getting ready for the start of the school year. A long line of customers come to Pierrette to prepare their clothes for upcoming social events and ceremonies. More than a seamstress, she is the confidant of her customers and community. But when it starts pouring and the rain threatens to flood her workshop - one of many misfortunes - Pierrette will have to struggle to stay afloat. Marked by moments of beauty and quiet grace, Mbakam’s naturalistic approach favors a portrait of resilience in the face of adversity and socioeconomic hardship.
