'The Place in Between' is a 2010 Burkinab drama film about a biracial Frenchwoman learning about her mother.
Synopsis
After the death of her father, Amy, a young biracial woman, leaves Paris to go to Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso to find her mother from whom she grew up without. But Amy arrives to find that only her aunt Acita (Yamogo) lives in her childhood home. She also learns from her aunt that her mother had done something that had greatly shamed the family.
Amy goes from one part of the family to another; although comforting, it is also stifling. Moreover, she encounters a city in which she no longer has a point of reference. Amy feels adrift in this foreign city that she doesn't hardly remember.
Meanwhile in Paris, Mariam, a 45-year-old Burkinabe, is an office cleaner that lives in Paris trying to find her daughter. She had just recently met Ester, the manager of the company where she cleans. While Ester learns the Dyula language from Mariam for unknown reasons, the two lonely women gradually grow to appreciate each other.
