Set in Dakar, Souleiman flees the nation in search of a better life in Spain when his boss refuses to pay him for months. He abandons his lover, Ada, who has been promised to another richer guy. As the wedding day approaches, unusual occurrences begin to occur in order to save Ada from an unfavourable fate. Atlantics uses Souleiman and Ada's captivating romance as a backdrop to emphasise the obstacles encountered by Senegalese youth - economic struggles, a lack of chances, and a lack of freedom for women. I truly liked how the sci-fi, romance, and drama were intertwined. The usage of science fiction allows the spiritual to appear in the world as we know it, which means you may feel the emotions of the characters and be taken away by the tale. It was also the opportunity for me to learn Wolof, one of Senegal's 39 languages. If you loved The Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Claire Mathon returns as a cinematographer in Mati Diop's debut feature. ‘Atlantics’ is a visual and emotional feast!
