What happens

Et la neige n'était plus... est un film sénégalais, court métrage en noir et blanc d'Ababacar Samb Makharam sorti en 1966. Le film suit un jeune boursier sénégalais qui revient de ses études en France. A l'aide d'une voix-off et d'images en noir et blanc sur Dakar, sa famille, ses amis et ses dérives, le réalisateur lui demande avec franchise, courage et humour quels choix il fera, à nouveau au contact des réalités de son pays, posant ainsi la question à toute la jeunesse africaine.
