Cameroonian Rosine Mbakam's latest is a discreet, realistic, and poignant 'slice of life' portrayal where compassion never gives way to condescension.

The hero of this contemporary tale, Mambar, is a talented seamstress, a single mother, and daughter of a ailing mother, struggling with an impossible life puzzle. Everyone loves her creations, but no one wants to pay full price. With a house in need of renovation, school books to be bought, and mouths to feed, Mambar hardly needs more on her plate, but fate has other plans. Alongside the adversity, there are precious moments of care, friendship, and understanding among family members, friends, and acquaintances who all find themselves in the same boat and must muster more strength than seems possible, and somehow managing to do just that.
