For many years, an alien spaceship has hovered
in the skies, undisturbed and dormant, slowly rusting away. Tired of
picking up the crumbs of gone-by civilizations, Candy dreams of the day
when he is not living in a state of perpetual fear. When the spaceship
in the sky begins to turn on, and after a series of freak incidents in
the bowling alley that Candy and his wife Selam call home, our hero is
forced to embark on a surreal journey through the post-apocalyptic
Ethiopian landscape. As Candy grapples with witches, Santa Claus and
second-generation Nazis, he discovers the memories that lead him on this
journey might not be real.
