Synopsis

The Meatseller is the true story of Selinna Ajamikoko, a young Nigerian woman who dreams to become a meatseller like her mom. In order to achieve her dream, she begins her voyage towards Italy, an experience full of atrocity and bestiality. This animated journey, led by Selinna’s own voice, guides us through the quest for identity that characterizes every human being.

Director's Statement

The greatest challenge of an animated documentary is never to let the aesthetic take over the narration. Selinna’s forceful voice is main witness to an experience that is shared daily by many women. But it is at the same time unique, and it leads us through a journey made of flesh, blood, and dreams, in a constant search for a personal identity.
