From the acclaimed Somali-born director of The Gravediggers’ Wife, which had its premiere last year in Cannes, and played at the Red Sea IFF, comes this vibrant and fantastical short that will appeal to fans of Jordan Peele (Get Out, Nope). A teenage boy is on his way home at night when his bicycle breaks down in the middle of a quiet road, where he meets a series of mysterious characters.
