Barbara is 25 years old and lives in Accra, the capital of Ghana. She is charismatic and self-confident, but her courage disappears when the harmattan, a choking wind from the Sahara, blows. Images from the past return with the wind, taking away her peace of mind. As an eight-year-old girl, Barbara shared the fate of thousands of Ghanaian children who were put into slave labor by their parents. For many years she lived in a world full of abuse, violence and fear, but she survived, saved by the Polish priest Piotr. Despite her anger at what happened to her, Barbara supports her parents and pays for her younger brothers’ school fees, but their expectations continue to grow. One day, together with her eldest brother, Barbara goes to her parents to help solve their problems. Before that happens, she must ask them the questions she has been thinking about her entire adult life.
The film received the Cin\u00e9Femme 2025 award at the Millenium Festival and the award for Best Film at the Millenium Festival.<\/p>\n

The film will be followed by a discussion with director Edyta Wr\u00f3blewska, moderated by Christie Huysmans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
