Set in the futuristic African nation of Umata in 2093, young filmmaker Kuve seeks to document the aftermath of a devastating Great War.
On this journey, he assembles a crew including Mumbi, an aspiring actress who challenges the production to abandon Artificial Intelligence in favour of real, human experiences.
What follows is a satirical sci-fi mockumentary that dances through a tangled love triangle between a director, an actress, and a prince, while offering insights into the relationship between art, creativity and technology.
