Princess Téné

Overview

Ouagadougou. Téné, queen of the night, inherits the family stables after the death of her father. While at first she’s determined to sell the horses, she finds a way to make some fast cash by using them as mules to traffic drugs for Auntie Dollar. Alongside her ascent as a criminal, Téné finds herself rehabilitating the family reputation by restoring the horses to their former glory. Much of the money she makes goes toward caring for the animals, and she gets closer to Harmonica, her father's faithful companion, and Princess, his mare. While she relishes her success, her brother is killed at the front. Téné refuses to continue trafficking when she discovers Auntie Dollar is selling the drugs to the terrorist group responsible for her brother's death. Wanting to put an end to it, Téné challenges Auntie Dollar to a duel.
