Synopsis
editA blind violinist called Sibi has been singing and playing in carabets in the most popular neighborhoods of Koudougou, Burkina Faso, for more than 30 years. He knows the origins of the ethnic groups and the most important family lines in the region. Despite his blindness and the general indifference around him, he holds the living history of the region and its oral traditions, now threatened with extinction. This story is a message in a bottle, of sorts, for viewers to pay attention to his story before it is too late and these traditions disappear forever.
