Ladji works as a van driver in Mali. He seems to be quite tired or bored with his work. One day he accepts to smuggle drugs. After that, he starts making a lot more money than usual. Ladji also has a sister. Her name is Aminata and she can, because of the new big money, say goodbye to her work as a prostitute.
I must ask an important question. Who or what is the main enemy here? Is it the drugs, Ladji´s some sort of inner demons, the border control, the Malian government or one of Ladji´s bosses or co-workers? Personally, I´m not sure. But my guess is the drugs.
And where is Ladji´s and Aminata´s parents? Why doesn´t anybody talk about them? Are they dead or alive? Did they abandon or disown their children? Are they just on vacation? Do they know anything about their children´s everyday life? It´s very important to have good role models. It can be a parent or a guardian. Who is Ladji´s or Aminata´s role model?
I think that "Wùlu" is quite good. But for me it isn´t a great masterpiece. I think that too many questions were left unanswered. Should I recommend "Wùlu"? If so, to whom?
