"...a quivering collective fury scalds through the silence in Rungano Nyoni’s tremendous new film." Variety
Rungano Nyoni’s follow-up to her BAFTA-winning debut I Am Not a Witch is a powerful and atmospheric tale of tradition, abuse and strength within a Zambian family.
On an empty road in the middle of the night, Shula stumbles across the body of her uncle. As funeral proceedings begin around them, she and her cousins bring to light the buried secrets of their middle-class family, in this surreal and vibrant reckoning with the lies we tell ourselves.
