| Summary |
Set in Chad in 2006 during a time when the government has granted amnesty to all war criminals. Atim, 16 years old, is given a revolver by his grandfather so that he may kill the man who killed his father. Atim leaves his village for N’djamena, seeking a man he does not know. He quickly locates him: former war criminal Nassara is now married and settled down as the owner of a small bakery. With the firm intention of killing him, Atim gets closer to Nassara under the guise of looking for work, and is hired as an apprentice baker. Winner of 6 awards at the **Venice Film Festival.** *"An intimate parable of truth and reconciliation." - Joshua Land, **Time Out*** |
