A woman with sunglasses, a sparkly helmet and red lipstick drives a car.

Rungano Nyoni writes and directs this surreal comedy/drama about family secrets in Zambia. 

On an empty road in the middle of the night, Shula stumbles across the body of her uncle. As funeral proceedings begin around them, she and her cousins bring to light the buried secrets of their middle-class Zambian family, in filmmaker Rungano Nyoni’s surreal and vibrant reckoning with the lies we tell ourselves.
