The Ambassador’s Wife

| Distribution in Profile: Archival introspection – Filmform presents new titles in distribution
KulturBahnhof Kassel

We find ourselves in an extravagant garden in Ouagadougou. The French Ambassador’s wife dreamt about becoming a famous opera singer. Instead, she is now using the singing as a valve to survive her seemingly privileged life surrounded by workers. This film raises questions about power structures, class, intersectionality, post colonialism and feminism in a poetic, subtle and seductive way.
