Synopsis
Working for the Peace Corps in Senegal during the 1980s, Amy Flannery first met Papis Goudiaby, a member of the Jola people. But it was not until 10 years later that Flannery returned to Senegal and the two fell in love. Now married and living in Washington, D.C., Papis is called back to his village to participate in an initiation rite. Travelling together to the small village of Belaye, Flannery records her husband's home and its people, as the young men prepare for their rite of passage into adulthood.
