The story follows several interconnected characters, including Meheret, an Ethiopian journalist, Mano, an actor of mixed ancestry, and Barnum, a writer in exile. Their lives become intertwined through love, politics, memory and displacement. The narrative moves between reality, dreams, letters and reflections, exploring questions of race, identity, oppression and belonging while portraying both personal struggles and the wider turmoil of a continent marked by apartheid and conflict.
