Daniel G 11/23/2022 Lovely road movie - watched it in Portuguese, may want to watch it again in French. But certainly no great desire to go to Senegal - really less developed than Brazil - though I'd love to eat their food - looked delicious in the meal scenes.

Altamente recomendable. See more Read all reviews
