Xady, is a young woman born in Dakar of the middle class of civil servants. She is a student in sociology at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar. Attracted by music as a social phenomenon in the field of research and academic activities. Thus she met a group of musicians from the working class of the outlying districts of Dakar, the Senegalese capital. In the early 1980s, when art and particularly music became more and more the refuge of a certain youth under modest conditions, Xady very often left her non-residential neighbourhood to join her musician friends. She started playing the guitar. Her mother, a teacher, does not share her daughter's vision. So the conflict begins when Xady falls in love with Goly one of the group members. Xew-Xew recounts the punishment of Senegalese society in the early 1980s, a two-sided society in which two worlds live together, side by side, without having the same concerns or the same destinies. On the one hand, a westernized elite, inhabited by both cultures, and on the other hand, those left behind by underdevelopment, which constitute the largest number.
