Written and directed by Wendy Bashi
The Kivu in Democrat Republic of Congo, a lake in one of the most unstable region in the world, is portrayed by the stories of local fishermen.
They live on, and thanks to the lake, they know all his secrets. They tell them, drifting with the flow on their pirogue or during a late evening gathering along the lake’s banks: two warring countries - Rwanda and DRC, the rumor of a killer fish, a gigantic reserve of methane about to blow up, or old woman’s fabulous memories... So many stories about life and death, fishing and legacy, which form a tales’ collection and reveals the secret identity of an amazing place.
