Mariétou Diop

In this working-class neighborhood on the outskirts of Dakar, stands the proud house of Ndiouga Thiam, a renowned jeweler and family patriarch, who has realized his dream of bringing almost all his descendants together under one roof. Baabel thus unites four generations living in a single house. The challenges of coexistence don't prevent the residents from maintaining a certain equilibrium under the rule of the authoritarian Ndiouga. This equilibrium is disrupted when Khalil, Ndiouga's youngest son, returns from France with his brand-new wife, Fa Bintou. Nicknamed "the Parisian," and now the perfect daughter-in-law in Ndiouga's eyes, she disrupts lives and routines, thereby becoming the target of her sisters-in-law...

When Aminata returns to Dakar, her presence reopens old wounds and unsettles lives that seemed carefully rebuilt. Between love, jealousy, and unspoken betrayals, marriages are tested and loyalties begin to crack. As secrets surface and desires clash, the line between truth and lies becomes dangerously thin. Motherhood, power, and obsession collide in a story where every choice has consequences.
