What We Choose to Carry

She married a man with a son he never got to raise. She didn't know how much else he never told her.

Aicha said yes to Ibrahima knowing about the baby. What she didn't know was everything he'd decide, quietly, not to mention after that.

Four thousand kilometers away, Aminata is done being patient with a man who never raises his voice - so when he finally takes his son home without a single lawyer or judge involved, she doesn't take it to court.

She takes it to the internet.

Within hours, Ibrahima's name is trending. Aicha's own family - who still don't know her husband has a child - start asking questions she's spent a year and a half avoiding. And somewhere in Dakar, a woman neither of them wants to think about is watching the chaos unfold with a very particular kind of interest.

Ibrahima doesn't do lawyers. He doesn't raise his voice either.

What he does when he's finally pushed too far is so much worse.

A slow-burn family drama about the things we hide to protect the people we love - and what happens when all of it finally comes out at once.
