More than a seamstress, Mambar Pierrette is the confidant of her customers and community, in the city of Douala, Cameroon. 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, director Rosine Mbakam’s naturalistic approach favours a portrait of resilience in the face of adversity and socioeconomic hardship.

This film is in French, Bamileke and Cameroon Pidgin with English subtitles.
