Bogo Ja" follows five women, Rokia, Sali, Aminata, Mariama and Djénébou for five months, in their daily life in the village of Siby in Mali. Why these women? Why this village? They are the living heritage of an ancestral tradition: the decoration of houses.

Every year, for a month, they become exceptional artists. Several hundred women participate in the Bogo Ja art and architecture competition for decorated houses by painting more than 400 houses.

But beyond the competition, what are their realities? Their dreams? What do all these works mean? Why are these paintings only done by women? Where did their inspiration come from? What do their families think? What is the impact on the community? Can we talk about art?

An exploration of these exceptional women and their know-how that has endured for millennia. The film "Bogo Ja" is an immersion journey with these five women.
