Summary:
In Sophia's homecoming from Namibia, a woman who has worked as a domestic in Windhoek for 12 years comes home to her husband, children and sister and finds that their lives are irreparably altered. In Sabriya, the arrival of a modern, free-spirited woman disrupts the mosaic of male Maghrebi society as represented by two Tunisian chess players. So be it, based on the play The strong breed, by Wolé Soyinka, follows the destruction of a well intentioned doctor in a remote Senegalese village. The gaze of the stars shows the destructiveness of machismo in a Mozambiquan community.
