Tiyaa, a beautiful young woman from an aristocratic family, returns after a study in Paris to her place of birth, the Sultanate of Zinder in Niger.

During a consultation with a zimma, a wise old man, she is advised to wait for the new moon to perform a love ritual.Until that time, she roams the community having conversations with women of all ages, who offer her an insight into their love life and sensuality, taboos and culturally-defined codes, with a dash of mysticism. The Wedding Ring is also a lyrical love letter to the traditional customs of the Sahel, with an eye for the beautiful clothing and an elegant production design.

Quote:
A sorcerer (played by the director himself) controls all activities in a village. Manipulating the different parties, the sorcerer promises love, good health and riches in exchange for the most extravagant rewards. One day someone exposes him, and the sorcerer becomes the laughing stock of the whole village. Desperate, he throws himself off a cliff.

Quote:
Saitane, meaning Satan, is the story of a young couple whose wife is seduced by a wealthy merchant. His secret love will be organized by a marabout. Quarrel in the household. The father of the young woman wants to take her daughter and grand-son, but the husband is opposed because he considers his property. As the marabout, he will be punished, ridiculed and lose its influence on the village. He will find a cure for his discomfiture in suicide. Oumarou Ganda denounced once again with this film in color, religious hypocrisy as he lambasted Le Wazzou Polygame fetish and occult beliefs as being dupes and rewarding crooks in Africa. So it turns ostensibly a mockery marabout, although sowing discord in households, was revered of all in his village. Saitane is a remarkable picture of manners and excellent social satire.

Summary from the Rotterdam Film Festival:
Ali is the image of modern Africa. He happily returns from a football match on his motorbike but a nasty surprise is waiting for him at his parents’ home: he finds Haoua, his bride-to-be, waiting for him. The wedding is celebrated shortly afterwards and the two begin living together under the same roof. They are strangers but cannot stand each other. Haoua is the classic traditional woman who has just arrived from the village, God-fearing and faithful to the laws of tradition. Ali’s friends advise him to look for a second wife. He meets Henriette, an uninhibited and provocative city girl, the woman of his dreams. To meet Henriette’s constant requests, Ali ‘borrows’ some money from the coffers of commander Soleymane, but he is discovered and ends up in prison. Henriette is furious and leaves him, whilst Haoua cries for him in despair.
