En attendant les hommes is a 2007 documentary film about women muralists in Oualata, Mauritania. In this town on the far edge of the Sahara desert, three women practice traditional painting, and decorate the walls of the town. In a society apparently dominated by tradition, religion and men, these women unreservedly express themselves and comment freely on the relationship between men and women.

Synopsis

Oualata, la ville rouge à l’extrême est du désert mauritanien. Dans cet îlot, éphémère rempart contre les sables, trois femmes pratiquent la peinture traditionnelle en décorant les murs des maisons de la ville. Dans une société apparemment dominée par la tradition, la religion et les hommes, ces femmes s’expriment avec une surprenante liberté sur leur manière de percevoir la relation entre les hommes et les femmes.

The documentary details the life and work of the artist Beatrice Wood, particularly her experiences as one of the members of the art movement known as Dada during the 1910s. It also recounts friendships with Marcel Duchamp and Henri-Pierre Roché whose book, and subsequent film Jules and Jim, was no doubt inspired by the relationship between the three of them, but actually based on a later relationship between Roché, Helen Grund and the German writer Franz Hessel.
