children with her filthy ways...

I want them to go!

All of this is your fault.

Leave him alone.

Does this concern you?

Are you in pain?

No!

Tell me the truth,

Sana is worried about you.

I'm telling you,

I'm not in pain...

Look at that...

She got exactly what she deserved.

Leave me be,

you deserve the same thing...

You're always cruel with me.

- Come here!

- Leave me alone!

Alcoholic during the day

and impotent at night...

Why are they behaving like that?

I don't know...

but it's really too bad.

It is...

What are you doing there?

We wanted to keep you company.

You could drink a little less...

I know this man...

he's a charlatan...

I found him once

with Noaga's wife.

Wait here!

- What are you going to do?

- Don't worry about it.

Give to a blind man...

Give me my money...

He's not a blind man!

Catch him!

You see,

I was right.

What's wrong?

I don't know...

My head hurts and I feel dizzy...

Let's go back to the village.

Mother,

she has tetanus,

Sana told me...

Don't you worry... she has malaria

and she'll be alright soon.

...she died a long time ago...

and Nopoko needs a mother,

and Tenga's daughter

would be perfect...

You're right,

but I'll have to think about it.

Uncle!

What do you want?

Nothing...

He can be very strange.

I agree with you.

It's Nopoko...

she is very sick...

but no one believes that

it's because of the knife.

Will you help us?

No, I cannot.

I will help you.

Thank you.

See you soon.

See you soon.

The sick one is in the village.

Come!

No.

The work will be done here.

- We've brought a cock!

- Get it!

Here's the cock!

There's nothing wrong

with your child,

someone has stolen her soul.

I see an old, old woman...

it's a witch...

I told you!

You must drive her

from the village...

but sacrifices must

be performed... a bull,

a lamb, fifty coins...

Liar!

I know who he is,

he just wants to swindle you...

That's enough, drunkard!

Then it will be your problem...

Thank you for your help...

The old woman will be

chased from the village.

I will wait for you this evening...

at the setting of the sun.

We will be there.

Let's go!

Witch, give us the child!

Let me do it!

Bila, come out of there!

He isn't inside.

Look!

- Now she has no home!

- It's just as well...

You no longer have a home...

but one day, I'll build you one!

Let me have a drink...

You!

Where are you going?

We're going home!

Go away!

There's the child.

Bila,

come here!

How is she going to be?

Here!

Tibo,

I'm afraid that all is lost...

Have courage.

Yaaba, greetings.

Old man, welcome.

He is a cousin of the sick girl.

A pleasure...

Let's go...

Father, this man can help us.

Idiot,

be quiet!

And you, where do you come from?

That doesn't matter,

I come as a friend.

Liar!

The witch has sent you to

finish what she started...

but I'm not going

to let you do that!

As you wish.

You are fools...

I know that man,

it's Taryam the great healer!

He could have helped you...

Filthy drunk!

You'll regret it...

Let's go find other medicines.

Come here!

I heard everything...

your father and Tibo are wrong.

Find Taryam and bring

his medicine, go!

Yaaba,

Taryam,

it's been arranged.

Mother would like

to try the medicine.

Is that true?

Then take this!

Good luck.

Sana,

I have to go.

Good bye.

Thank you very much.

I'm going as well.

May the gods favor you.

Nopoko, drink this,

drink!

No!

If you refuse,

you won't get better.

Drink it!

Father, wait up for me...

Where is your mother?

At a baptism.

We'll go there, too...

Nopoko, they've left, come out.

Wake up!

I'm speaking to you!

Wait.

I tricked you...

Here...

I don't want any,

I already had some this morning.

Tease, that's no reason

to not have a drink,

take it!

Have some yourself.

No. I'm not the one that's sick.

You know...

we all thought that you

were going to die,

but thanks to Taryam and Sana

you're going to be alright.

When you're feeling stronger

we'll go and see Sana. Alright?

Alright.

Now then, let me massage you...

Liar, he'll have your hide...

That man is a charlatan!

He's the one that burned your hut!

He promised a King he would turn

cow sh*t into silver...

Tibo is going to get married.

There's his bride.

I know her well,

she's a good woman.

She's not like my wife Pegda.

No, that one's a b*tch!

Long live Tibo and his wife!

Look at Koudi...

what she's doing is wrong.

Don't judge her,

she may have her reasons.

Let's go.

Do you think they've seen us?

I don't think so.

But sooner or later

everyone will know.

Come on!

Ah, that's life!

More...

let's really do it!

Let's get going.

Was that nice?

Don't you know?

Yes, but I want to hear you say it.

Razougou, look!

Go away, drunkard!

We'll settle our business after!

This is all your fault,

I will never be forced

to live with you again.

Idiot!

Alcoholic!

I will go with Razougou.

Impotent fool!

I don't care if everyone knows it!

Bila, bring the old woman

something to eat.

Where are you going?

He's giving the old woman

something to eat.

I can't be feeding her as well...

This is the last time,

understood?

Bila, go on your way.

Old hen!

The gods saved Nopoko,

not that witch.

If something should happen to Bila,

it will be thanks to you...

I will change you yet.

Where is Koudi going?

Probably to join Razougou.

The tramp!

Don't judge her.

She has her reasons.

Vultures...

I don't like that at all.

Me neither...

Let's go.

We've brought you something to eat!

She seems to be sleeping...

Wake her up.

Let's go home.

Come on.

You promised me you'd talk

about Yaaba...

Yaaba never knew her parents...

Her mother died giving birth

and her father died of grief.

And that's why

they called her a witch?

That's the only reason.

I know that story.

Yaaba told it to me.

And you said nothing to me.

Some cousin!

I'll never speak to you again!

I'm sorry...

That means nothing!

Here then,

it's a keepsake of Sana

and it's very dear to me.

I will never lose it.

If you can catch me,

I'll give it back.

Count to ten.
