This film written and directed by Rungano Nyoni puts its finger in the wound while hugging us. It all begins when Shula finds her uncle’s dead body in the middle of the road. The absurd drollery with which the moment is staged is transformed, throughout the film, into a meditation on how far a family will go to deny secrets that, deep down, everyone knows. And as much as this Zambian family wants things to remain unsaid, some things are hard to keep quiet.
