Anthôman

Overview

Gooré and Kalou maintain a deep friendship. The first is a talented drummer, while the second excels in the art of dance. One day, during a hunting trip, Gooré, through an unfortunate combination of circumstances, accidentally takes Kalou's life. Despite the negative result of the Zri, a traditional test supposed to establish the guilt or innocence of an individual and from which Gooré emerges unscathed, the villagers accuse him of having murdered his friend out of jealousy. Determined to clear his honor, Gooré then made a radical decision: he entered the Second World War. According to tradition, his return alive from the front would constitute irrefutable proof of his innocence.
