Solenn Bardet is officially known to be a geographer, ethnographer, documentarist, but in reality she comes from countless dreams (as Ariane Mnouchkine would say). Dreams born, lying on a carpet, according to stories by Karen Blixen, Pierre Loti or Thomas Edward Lawrence.
Dreams that will be embodied in one of the most remote corners of Namibia, in Kaokoland, in the land of the Himbas. Dating is the keyword. Meeting between a white woman and the red Himba people who will end up adopting her. It seems to start from a delirium of European in search of exoticism, but finally it leads to a real link between this people of breeders and the one who walks, nickname of Solenn Bardet who (after Bare feet on the red earthautobiographical account) publishes his first novel with Robert Laffont night lights. Where it is still and always a question of quest and human commitment.
