After spending seven years in prison, 35-year-old Geoffrey is released into the care of a Catholic priests’ compound in Shimoni, a quiet village in rural Kenya. But his newfound freedom is quickly overshadowed by fear when he spots a man with a distinctive patch of white hair. Geoffrey instantly recognizes him—the figure who has haunted his nightmares for decades. In her bold and gripping debut, editor-turned-writer-director Angela Wanjiku Wamai delves into the profound ways memory and emotion take hold of the body, revealing the devastating weight of silence.
