I LOVE YOU, YOU LOVE ME

Joy is the hub of the Nigerian women’s community of Ballarò. With her faraway children, everyday she juggles two different jobs and church activities. Singing allows her not to deal with silence. Now she is into the impending arrival of her betrothed in Palermo. For her, settling down represents also the hope of offering a better future to her children and getting a greater economic stability. Nevertheless, after the marriage she is again into daily tasks.
