Plot

In a cotton-farming village in Sudan, teenage Nafisa is raised on heroic tales of battling British colonizers told by her grandmother, the village matriarch Al-Sit.

Sinekatalog’s take

A village drama set in a Sudanese cotton-growing community, where a teenager raised on grandmother's heroic tales faces a changing world. It blends folklore with generational tension. A fresh, intimate window for viewers seeking African stories rarely seen on screen.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
