Synopsis

This short film follows the journey  of a young man who seems to have awoke years into the future. He journeys out from the dense jungle canopy into a heavily populated city and meanders through modern life; confused and out of touch with the technological, societal, linguistic, and economic changes that have taken place. The film seems to question traditional village life and values and their place in the context of modern Africa.
