Image Corps étranger
Jeanne, 34, secretive and solitary, was adopted as a baby in Burkina Faso. One day, by chance, she sees herself in a documentary filmed in Ouagadougou. The fleeting image left no doubt: she had just seen her double. Distraught, she set off in search of her twin, arriving in the hot sun of this foreign land with no bearings.
