In Burkina Faso, 27 years apart, two Octobers confront each other. The first, in 1987, saw the assassination of the father of the democratic people’s revolution, Thomas Sankara. The second, in October 2014, saw his successor, Blaise Compaoré, overthrown by the people in the street. In the neighbourhoods of Ouagadougou, the personal and political - history on a small and on an epic scale - meet and mix in the women’s hut where Mika lives, a teenage boy. Three generations weave this tale of the endurance of a people in search of justice, truth and integrity.
