Winner of 7 César awards, Timbuktu confirms Sissako's status as one of the true humanists of contemporary cinema. Not far from Timbuktu, now ruled by the religious fundamentalists, Kidane lives peacefully in the dunes with his family and their twelve-year-old shepherd. Back in the city, the people suffer from the regime of terror imposed
by the Jihadists determined to control their faith. Music,
laughter, cigarettes, even soccer have been banned.
