| Sumario: | [EN] The story of Mossane (1996), directed by the Senegalese film producer Safi Faye, takes place in Mbissel, Serer territory, between the ocean and the savannah, where traditions and religious rites have an impact on people’s way of life. The film both begins and ends with the camera moving across the water in the stunning Mossane. Water is certainly an essential component of the film’s narrative, but it has an ambivalent symbolic value, in the continuous transition between life and death. In this area of Africa the water element is considered a precious property, which can be, however, the premonition of a fatal end. The story is imprinted by a series of images in which water is always present : in the landscape around the beautiful estuary near the village, in the bathing rituals of women or in the water well excavated in the middle of arid lands, where other women go to collect water to take back to their village. In this study we will analyze this rich presence of water that marks not only the collective memory and rhythms of the community in natural areas, but also the intimate rituals where naked women talk freely about sex and their desires |
