Synopsis



"Meticulously executed, poignant and gently funny!" - A.O. Scott, New York Times

From a dusty village in the Republic of Chad, two brothers, Amine and Tahir, set out in a search of their father. Reflecting the rhythms of Africa, "Abouna" is a film rich in culture with a deep understanding of the human condition in general and youth in particular. This devastatingly powerful, magnificently photographed drama is director Mahamat-Saleh Haroun's triumphant follow-up to his international award-winning "Bye Bye Africa".
