Plot
Forty-year-old Babou Diop lives with his son Sada, his wife Coumba and a sheep they raise in the house. At nine, Sada ends up forming a very strong friendship with the sheep. A few days before the Tabaski holiday, Babou realises that his sheep, which is intended for sacrifice, has disappeared—and so has his son. In great distress, he sets out to find them, which he eventually does—a reunion that is not without its consequences... Now, Babou is faced with a dilemma.
