Why watch it?

Arriving at his new post, Baran confronts local power relationships as well as official responsibilities. Govend’s attempt to shape her own life opens a related search for independence. The Cannes record emphasises the meeting of these characters and pressures around them.

Compare the locations, lone-hero idea and humour with the habits of watching a western. Alongside genre connections, follow Govend’s decisions and the characters’ everyday relationships. Continue with Hiner Saleem’s Kilomètre Zéro to discover another connection between journeys, power and dark humour.
