Synopsis
A fifth-year law student, rebel, and active member of the UPLD (Union for Democracy) office, Aïcha Diallo is determined to shake things up. Young Aïcha's destiny is turned upside down when her mentor, Professor Moutari Wara, is caught up in accusations related to his past. His electoral defeat reshuffles the deck.
