Description: "The film follows a woman named Sofia, who lives alone in an old family apartment, and who, at the request of her mother, hires Mariama, a young Guinean, to help take care of the house and her son. The Bobô in the title is Mariama’s younger sister, who is facing the threat of a practice rooted in gender inequality, also known as female genital mutilation. With Sofia wanting to leave the cocoon she’s locked herself in, and Mariama’s worries about her younger sister, the two women make a connection that forces them to confront their individual ghosts, and eventually join to fight a common cause." -IndieWire
