ON BECOMING A GUINEA FOWL

Driving home in the middle of the night, Shula (Susan Chardy) stumbles across the body of her uncle lying in the middle of the road. As elaborate funeral proceedings fall into motion around her, she reconnects with her cousins to unearth the buried secrets of their middle-class Zambian family. Writer/director Rungano Nyoni’s (BAFTA® Award Winner, I AM NOT A WITCH) surreal and vibrant sophomore feature captures the clash between tradition and modernity in this sharply funny and ultimately stirring reckoning with the lies we tell ourselves. An A24 release.
