Plot
Oualata is a small oasis town in the far east of the Mauritanian desert. In this islet, an ephemeral rampart against the sands, three traditional women painters decorate the red walls with frescoes in a society apparently dominated by tradition, religion and men, and speak freely about gender relations.[4]
