Synopsis
How is love expressed in Africa today when you are twenty, forty or sixty years old? How is desire expressed, how does sexuality work, what does the family look like, the core at the centre of any society? Love, sex and the mobylette brings into focus the complex changes in modern Africa to explore how it pictures love in its imagination, the clothes love wears to survive, how it is forged in childhood and how it is transformed by everyday constraints and the advancing spectre of AIDS. And tries finally to understand what keeps desire for another person alive in a continent that is searching for an identity and which is doing its best to invent itself.
