À bout de sueurs is a tragedy about the mirage of exile, and a long dive into the underworld, which relentlessly engulfs an entire family, wife, husband, children. Hakim Bah's play (directed by him and Diane Chavelet) is the recipient of the third edition of the Laurent Terzieff-Pascale de Boysson Lucernaire Prize with the support of the SACD and Harmattan Editions.
Binta sees Fifi, her childhood friend, after many years of separation. Fifi went to live in France after meeting Michel on the Internet. She introduces Binta to this tool to free her from her harassing marital life. Binta leaves her husband Bachir to join another man, under the pretext of going to help her sick brother in France. Months pass. Bashir does everything possible to win Binta back, who is now unreachable. He decides to come and get her in Paris, and abandons his children. The children then decide to leave in their turn with the hope of seeing their mother again.
