MICHIGAN PREMIERE. This film will give you another lens through which to view the complex world of Africa. Leke (played by supermodel DUDLEY O’SHAUGHNESSY), a successful young London-based photographer, travels to Senegal to bury his estranged father. This beautifully shot film doesn’t waste time explaining the complicated backstory of how the biracial Leke ended up in London, but instead focuses on his attempt to reconcile his feelings as he tries to relate to the land of his father and the culture he left behind.
Through dynamic cinematography and a patient pace that gives the film a voyeuristic quality, we get to know Leke as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery, finding himself in others and places he thought were long forgotten.
