A film about the significance of the start of the 21st Century for people still struggling to enter the 20th.

On the eve of the 21st century, Sissako, an African filmmaker living in France returns to Sokolo, a small village in Mali, to join his father. There he runs into Nana, a young girl also visiting from the village. Thus begins a contemplation on the never healed relationship between Africa and  Europe.

Sissako and his father listen to the millennial celebrations in Paris over the radio, just about the only piece of the modern world to be found in the village.  Desperately trying to communicate with France from the minimal post-office, he discovers that daily life hasn’t changed much for the village inhabitants. Each person continues on at his or her own pace whilst the world celebrates the year 2000, and that the beginning of a new millenium has little meaning for them.

这部电影探讨的是对于那些仍然在奋斗着争取进入二十世纪的人们,二十一世纪究竟意义何在。

在二十一世纪的前夜,旅法的非洲导演Sissako回到马里的小村庄Sokolo,去看望他的父亲。在那里他碰到了Nana,这个年轻女孩也是来村里探亲的。于是思索就展开了,对于非洲和欧洲之间那从未平息的纠葛。

Sissako和父亲用收音机收听巴黎的千禧年庆祝活动,在村子里这可能是现代社会的唯一痕迹了。他努力地通过小得可怜的邮局和法国联系,发现当地居民的日常生活没有多大改变。在全世界欢庆2000年到来时,他们每个人都继续保持自己的步伐缓慢前行,新千年的开始对他们毫无意义。
