Xala (1975)
El Hadji Abdou Kader Beye, homme d'affaires sénégalais quinquagénaire, prend une troisième épouse, signe de réussite sociale et économique surtout. Selon la tradition musulmane, il a les moyens financiers pour assurer un train de vie luxueux à ses trois femmes, chacune a sa villa. Le soir, impossible de consommer son union, il est frappé d'impuissance. Il se croit victime d'une malédiction, le xala, lancée par un paysan qu'il avait autrefois ruiné. El Hadji, humilié, consulte les marabouts.
Directeur: Ousmane Sembène
