Everywhere in the world, between the ages of 15 and 25, people are dreaming their lives away. We look, we observe, we wonder, we test, we seek. And then we take action: we make decisions, we assume situations. In Mayotte, girls and young women experience this age with a particular intensity, as everything happens so quickly: their grandmothers knew the island without water or electricity, while they discover the world on the Internet.
At the crossroads of different historical, cultural and religious influences, at the crossroads of tradition and modernity, the young women of Mayotte weave all these belongings together to find their own path: how to live one's life? Three actresses, Anzmat Ahmadi, Nawoile Said Moulidi and Anturia Soilihi, originally from Mayotte and the Comoros, share the stage as they share a culture of origin. In turn, they give voice to young women.
Their stories tell of the struggles, the tenacity, the zest for life, the intelligence and humor required to cope with difficult circumstances and contradictory injunctions.
