Omenuses magical realism to examine the intricacies of identity, culture and belief systems.
But secrecy and sorcery erupt when a nosebleed is mistaken for a curse.
Along with street kid Paco (Marcel Otete Kabeya), a quartet of mirrored characters emerges.
The films modern narrative employs four main characters to reach back to the past and look into the future.
He has a wife and hes about to become a parent which is not the case for his mom.
So you have Koffi who is mirrored by Paco the street kid… At one point Umuhires Tshala goes to a witch doctor to treat an STD.
Baloji also recorded four albums of music for the characters, though this does not appear in the film.
But I have to say that the music was a companion for the cast and for all the departments.
Umuhire had goosebumps when she heard the separate music.
Check out the panel video above.
