BANGALI, known as BB, a young cartoonist for the newspaper "L'horizon" in Conakry, is madly in love with the beautiful KESSO. Committed to everything he does, he dreams of a better future, a modern life.
His father, KARAMO, does not share his views. He is anchored in ancestral tradition and attached to the values of his culture. He is also the most esteemed Imam of Conakry and wants his son BANGALI to succeed him... But BANGALI does not see it that way.
The two characters clash and defend their respective positions… It is a brewing storm.
Four climatic elements punctuate the story to better explore the foundations of human nature. Between the dryness of souls that cannot find serenity, the thunderstorm that rumbles and makes its voice heard, the lightning that unleashes passions and finally, the saving rain, the story of this play is not lacking in twists and turns.
It is a real family saga with several themes discussed: The youth and its hopes, family and its commitment, politics, religion, and of course, the place of women. Societal themes that will not leave anyone indifferent.
