Set in an unspecified sub-Saharan nation roiled alternatively, really concurrently, by corruption and rebellion, the film features Isabelle Hupert as an operator of a coffee plantation who stubbornly refuses to flee when chaos descends. Difficult to position her as the victim.
Recommend with this caveat: the films requires, but probably doesn't warrant, two viewings.
