About This Movie

So, there's this documentary, "Ich bin Ich: Lamine’s Farm in Senegal" from 2023. It's a slice-of-life kind of film, really. You follow Lamine and his family getting settled into this new farm, and it's not just about the farming. It's about the rhythms of life, you know? The heat of the afternoons really sets a laid-back tone, and those beach trips with his new friend give it a nice contrast. It feels genuine, almost like you're peeking into their daily routine. The pacing is slow, but that works here—letting you soak in the atmosphere. It's more about connection and simplicity than grand narratives, which makes it stand out in a way that’s refreshing.
