A long, red ribbon of fabric fluttering through the mountainous landscape of Lesotho. This blood-soaked motif is a kind of underlying mood or main character in the film – it combines violence and beauty. Alongside this, we see other characters: a father tilling the soil with his son, a puppeteer who works as a teacher, an 80s BMW model rolling ominously through the streets, and an angry woman barking against her fate. Parallel to the images, we hear an autobiographical narrative by Lemohang Mosese from off-screen. Based on his experiences between Lesotho and Berlin, he speaks in poetic stories about growing up, about home as seen from exile, about the Ubuntu philosophy of southern Africa. The film is an impressive re-enactment of a possible future that feeds on a connection to the roots of the past.
