NOTE BY THE FILMMAKER
The family of a raped young girl is confronted to a difficult choice, either seek for justice or sign a non-disclosure agreement in consideration of a huge sum of money.
The idea behind this film is to show how moral principles of some individuals are challenged when facing a difficult situation. It is equally an opportunity to highlight the existing gap between rich and poor families in Cameroon and show how each family addresses these difficulties.
The themes discussed in The Agreement are on trend and common to all human societies. However, they are discussed in a particular way and from a different perspective from what is generally observed; that will undoubtedly raise questionings within the public.
The story in The Agreement will make us discover Yaounde's slums and beautiful neighbourhoods as well as its assets. The aim being to show the behaviours of the different social classes in their area of residence.
