Muna Moto
Jean-Pierre Dikongué Pipa · 1975
A 1975 Cameroonian drama by Jean-Pierre Dikongué Pipa, set in a rural community where Ngando’s love for Ndomé is undone by the unyielding requirement of dowry payment. When she bears his child, the village arranges her marriage to his uncle — a man who can fulfil the custom. Ngando’s final act is to take his daughter on the day of the feast. Shot in French with minimal music or camera movement, the film observes ritual, silence, and social consequence without explanation or judgement.
