SYNOPSIS

I denne etiopiske sci-fi møder vi Candy, der træt af at samle krummerne fra den sammenbrudte civilisation, drømmer sit liv væk, mens han lever i evig frygt. Da fartøjet på himlen begynder at bevæge sig efter en række mærkelige hændelser, tvinges vores lillebitte helt ud på en surrealistisk, episk rejse, der fører ham gennem post-apokalyptiske, etiopiske landskaber, hvor han møder sig selv, sin frygt og hekse, Julemanden og andengenerations-nazister. Blot for at opdage, at det han længe har troet på, slet ikke er, som han forventede. (Africa Reframed, programtekst)

SYNOPSIS

Sci-fi from Ethiopia. Tired of picking up the crumbs of gone-by civilizations, Candy dreams his life away when not living in a state of perpetual fear. When the spaceship in the sky begins to turn on and after a series of freak incidents, our miniature-sized hero will be forced to embark on a surreal epic journey that will lead him through the post-apocalyptic Ethiopian landscape as he confronts himself, his fears and witches, Santa Claus and second generation Nazis: only to discover that what he had long believed is not what he expected. (Afrika Reframed programme)

Director: Miguel Llansó, Ethiopia 2015
