Atlantics tells a bittersweet coming-of-age story about a young woman learning to be comfortable with herself, her choices and her sexuality. TIFF
A warm, beautiful movie that stirs away from the usual clichés of African women and migrants, Atlantics is a marvel. It tells a wonderful, bittersweet coming-of-age story about a young woman learning to be comfortable with herself, her choices and her sexuality.
The movie begins in Senegal with Ada . Ada is a young girl in love with Souleiman . From the moment we meet them, the young couple’s dark skin is beautifully captured on camera against the riveting but dangerous sea. Their romance has a tenderness–a softness that is seldom represented on screen between Black people–darker hued Black people especially. Some filmmakers believe that Black bodies, particularly African bodies, only serve to carry trauma and pain.
Upon hearing the news, Ada is heartbroken but resigned. Determined to move forward she weds her wealthy but obnoxious fiancé. But on their wedding night, their house burns down. The rumor spreads that Souleiman has returned and is behind the arson. In addition to searching for Souleiman, Ada is also dealing with the terrible pressures of the society she lives in. Her husband’s family forces her to do a virginity test upon hearing the news of Souleiman’s return, to make sure she is not bringing any “shame” to them.
