Winner - Sembene Ousmane Award for Film Development at ZIFF

After 8 years Kazungu returns to their family home in the unfortunate event of burying his mother and is forced to come face to face with his estranged father. He joins his father the next day, on a fishing trip to catch a rare fish that has been sighted. While at sea, the tension between them gives way to encounters that cause them to confront the reasons behind their strained relationship. Eventually, they encounter the rare fish they set out to hunt, but now with a greater awareness about what it represents for them and their relationship.
