  • "Duka is a married woman and mother of five young children, living in Hamar, Southern Ethiopia. Ever since her husband married a beautiful, young, second wife, Duka has been in a state of emotional turmoil. Among the Hamar, who live with herds and cultivate small fields of sorghum in their remote, bush-covered country, men are allowed to marry more than one wife, but only a few men ever do so. Duka wonders why her husband married again; did he find her too old, or was he turned off because of her chronic malaria? Also, she doesn't know what to make of the new wife who is silent and never expresses her feelings except in rage? And on top of this, her mother-in-law keeps making trouble and is angry with her son for marrying a second wife behind her back. Personal and intimate, the film follows the drama of this family in crisis, the high points of which are the birth of the new wife's child, and nine months later, a heated dispute between the mother-in-law and her son, which leads to the building of a new house."

  • "Depuis les années 1970, l'anthropologue Jean Lydall réalise de nombreux films avec la population Hamer du Sud de l'Ethiopie. Pour ce documentaire, il suit le parcours de Duka, jeune femme Hamer héroïne de ces deux précédents films (The Women Who Smile et Our Way of loving) au prise avec une situation familiale complexe. Grâce aux relations privilégiées que l'anthropologue et sa fille Kaira entretiennent depuis plus de vingt ans avec la famille de Duka, il parvient à filmer les relations conflictuelles de celle-ci avec sa coépouse, Boro, ou les situations de crise familiale telle que la violente dispute entre sa mère et son mari, Sago. Au cours de cette période agitée qui témoigne aussi d'évènements heureux comme l'accouchement de Boro et celui de Duka, chacun parvient à exprimer son point de vue et les relations entre les protagonistes semblent finalement trouver leur équilibre."
