Adams and Abdels relationship is the main focus of the films story, and according to the director it relates to modern day Chad Between the father and the son is the transportation of memory, genes, and culture. Its particularly important here because men conduct the war in Chad. The unrest in Chad has lastedyears and its the father who has transmitted the culture of war to his son, because otherwise there is no reason for the son to get involved. Mahamat Saleh Haroun intentionally resisted from going into detail about the civil war in Chad and politics The film recounts the point of view of this character and he hasnt got a position with the rebels or the government to his life the two forces are abstract and so it would not matter if he was for the rebels or the government as this would not stop the war.The films title is a quotation from the poetry collection Return to My Native Land by Aim Csaire. The full sentence is A screaming man is not a dancing bear. Haroun says that the main character Adam is screaming against the silence of God, its not a scream against adversity. ........
