Colle Ardo is the only woman to oppose the cycle of « purification » that requires her daughter in her turn to submit to female genital mutilation. Entrenched in her home, Molaade will do battle against her whole village rather than deliver her daughters up to this barbaric custom.

Ousmane Sembene's last film, directed when he'd already lost his sight, Molaade offers a feminist vision that is very rare on the African cinematographic scene.
