Plot
Haunted by the relentless specter of drought that ravages his village, a resilient hunter embarks on an audacious journey, his departure punctuated by the hopeful blessings of his village folk. As they offer their meager gifts - a humble egg, a fistful of peanuts, a few precious kola nuts, the hunter's story mirrors that of Sobgui. Once a computer programmer, Sobgui now navigates the bustling streets of Douala as a "clando" cab driver. However, the harsh realities of life in Cameroon begin to strangle his spirit, pushing him to seek refuge in the distant lands of Europe.
In the heart of Cologne, Germany, Sobgui discovers a vibrant community of African emigrants. Their steadfast work ethic and ambitious dreams color his new life, even as he grapples with the echoes of his past. During this transformative journey, Sobgui's path intertwines with that of Madeleine, a passionate German political activist. Their love story unfolds amidst the clashing sounds of their diverse cultures, and Madeleine's fervor fuels Sobgui's latent desire for change.
With Madeleine's encouragement echoing in his ears, Sobgui and his companions are faced with a potent question - to return to their motherland and ignite the flames of revolution or continue to seek solace in their adopted homeland. This gripping tale of resilience, ambition, and the pursuit of change paints a vivid picture of the immigrant experience, navigating the intricate labyrinth of cultural identity and personal sacrifice.
