A madcap race against time is the focus of this colourful screwball comedy, with wry but affectionate nods to Ghanaian traditions and gender dynamics.
Drama • Romantic • Charming
It’s the 1980s in rural Ghana, and Atswei is heavily pregnant and desperate to get to Ateke to deliver her baby. But when she and husband Boi miss the morning train — the only means of transport to the city — the hapless couple are left stranded in the blazing sun with only Boi’s boombox for encouragement.
