In a few days, charismatic teenager Rhaissa, a nomadic Tuareg from Niger, will marry a man she's never met. After the wedding, everything will change. This warm, intimate documentary follows Rhaissa as she enjoys her last few days of girlhood and navigates the long marriage ceremony. By engraining herself in the Tuareg community, filmmaker Bettina Hansen discretely captures their sense of values and perspective on love. The result is a unique and beautifully-crafted film.
