Ten years after delivering his Oscar-nominated film Timbuktu, Abderrahmane SISSAKO is set to make his anticipated directorial comeback with BLACK TEA.

Aya, a young Ivorian woman in her early thirties, shocks everyone by saying “no” on her wedding day. After emigrating to China, she works in a tea export shop with Cai, a 45-year-old Chinese man. Aya and Cai fall in love, but can their affair survive the turmoil of their pasts and the prejudices of others?
