Synopsis
Dakar, a few days before Tabaski festival, a painter locked in his studio, works on the theme of the ram sacrifice ritual. Red painting draws sketches hanging on clotheslines. An inscription on the wall reads: “Tabaski, who’s next?” Three characters and a sheep revolve around him, reconnecting him back to reality.
