BABA
Status: Released
World Premiere: Toronto International Film Festival 2022 | Winner Film Africa Baobab Award for Best Short 2022
In the outskirts of Nairobi, a six-year-old boy with the unique ability to teleport, struggles to understand his world and the people around him. Buoyed by childish optimism and extraordinary imagination, he bounces between his harsh reality and the peaceful solitude that his ability affords him, as he learns to protect his innocence.
