Synopsis

Louis Nawa stumbles out of a hospital, half-naked and oblivious, into a city ravaged by Ebola. He unknowingly brought the deadly disease back to his home country, unleashing disastrous consequences on his family, friends, and community. As the plague takes hold of Anzara, a cast of bizarre characters, from blind musicians to tyrannical factory owners, find themselves fighting for survival. This tragicomic satire even personifies Ebola itself as a sinister, cackling presence.
