À quoi s’attendre
Ousmane Sembène’s first feature gives colonial power a domestic scale through voice-over, objects, rooms, and withheld mobility. Its concise form makes Diouana’s interior life confront the employers who prefer to treat her as a function.
Comment aborder le film
Listen to the difference between Diouana’s inner voice and the limited speech permitted inside the apartment. The mask is not decoration; follow who gives it, owns it, displays it, and takes it back.

I feel the apartment grow smaller each time Diouana’s employers speak for her. Her inner voice preserves a world they refuse to see, while the mask quietly records every change in ownership.
