Summary
This program contains four films which were broadcast as part of an African television series in which television producers, film directors and writers from across the continent were asked to make a dramatic short on the theme 'love in Africa'. Sophia's homecoming concerns a Namibian woman who has worked as a domestic for 12 years in the city and comes home to her husband, children and sister and to a terrible discovery: the ruptures caused by apartheid can never be healed. The gaze of the stars is about machismo in Mozambique and the problems it causes. So be it follows the destruction of a well-intentioned foreign doctor in a remote Senegalese village. Sabriyah shows how a modern, free-spirited woman disrupts the exquisitely patterned mosaic of male Maghrebi society as represented by two Tunisian chess fanatics.
