'Eve's Bayou' Brings Post-Memory Towards West-Indian Culture
In an all-black community in Louisiana, a young girl learns her father has committed infidelity and turns to hoodoo to seek justice.

The story is about a shepherd named Akif who lost his young daughter Bahar 15 years ago. One day, while spending time with her near a cliff he believes she was abducted bv extraterrestrials. However, when he speaks about it, the villagers mock him, and even his wife refuses to believe him. After this incident, Akif dedicates his life to sciences like astronomy and physics. For years, he sends signals into the sky, trying to establish contact with aliens in the hope of bringing back his beloved daughter. Fifteen years later, just as he has completely lost hope, an unexpected visitor arrives at his home.
