Aya of Yop City (French title: Aya de Yopougon) is a 2012 French animated film directed by Marguerite Abouet and Clément Oubrerie and based on the graphic novel Aya of Yop City by the same authors. It was released on 23 May in France. It was nominated for the Best Animated Feature Film at the 39th César Awards.

Synopsis

Le film se déroule à Yopougon, un quartier populaire d'Abidjan, en Côte d'Ivoire, à la fin des années 1970, et suit la vie sentimentale et familiale d'un groupe d'adolescentes. Tandis qu'Aya se consacre essentiellement à ses études, ses amies Adjoua et Bintou pensent surtout à sortir le soir pour « gazer » (draguer) dans les « maquis » (les bars dansants), dans l'espoir de sortir avec un garçon malgré la surveillance de leurs familles qui redoutent les « génitos » (les séducteurs sans scrupules). Adjoua noue une relation avec un jeune homme, Moussa, le fils de Bonaventure Sissoko, l'un des hommes les plus riches du pays. Mais les choses se compliquent notablement lorsqu'elle se retrouve enceinte.

Paul et Sali Aloka, désirant adopter un enfant, se voient proposer par l'aide sociale à l'enfance (ASE) d'adopter Benjamin, âgé de 4 mois, mais ils sont noirs (lui martiniquais, elle d'origine sénégalaise) alors que l'enfant est blanc. Selon Claire Mallet, une assistante sociale très réticente, cette adoption est mauvaise pour l'enfant, même si M. Vidal, directeur local de l'ASE, pense que tout se passera bien. Les nouveaux parents se trouvent confrontés à la suspicion et aux fréquents contrôles de l'assistante sociale, aux a-priori des gens (Sali est régulièrement prise pour la nounou). De plus, les parents de Sali, très attachés à la tradition, refusent de reconnaître cet enfant blanc comme leur petit-fils. Mamita, la mère de Sali, finit par se laisser convaincre. Mais alors qu'elle garde Benjamin, elle le confie momentanément à une garde d'enfants sans-papier qui est contrôlée par la police dans la rue. Benjamin est alors retiré à la famille et replacé à la pouponnière de l'ASE. Séparé d'eux, il ne s'alimente plus et doit être hospitalisé. Avertis, Paul, Sali, Mamita et leurs amis vont à l’hôpital, très angoissés. Interdits de voir l'enfant, ils forcent la porte de la nurserie et se réfugient dans une chambre pour le nourrir. Après des menaces du personnel et l'arrivée de la police, tout le monde se rend compte qu'il s'agit d'un malentendu, et Benjamin grandit dans sa nouvelle famille, enfin accepté de tous.
