At the beginning I found this movie quite refreshing because it's not often that I watch an African movie, but I think the lack of a tradition in film-making is evident. With the exception of some interesting photography and lighting, everything is quite raw: acting, screenplay, plot. And despite the short runtime, the ending is quite sluggish.
Beyond that, there's a culture very hard to understand, where characters act in an almost absurd way, and that is why I found it interesting. A different time and land is depicted, with peculiar views on honor and family. I guess that when life expectancy is lower, the value of life is also lower.
