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 Zambian family.
This surreal comedy-drama on the lies we tell ourselves cements Zambian-Welsh filmmaker Rungano Nyoni’s (BAFTA winner for I Am Not a Witch) as a force to be reckoned with, and secured her the Un Certain Regard Best-Director Prize at Cannes.
