This film is part of Badewa Ajibade’s Carte Blanche
Driven by an almost visceral desire to flee their own lives, two lost souls meet by chance. Together, they embark on an introspective quest to find their true identity. Along their journey, they traverse the majestic landscapes of Namibia, which reflect not only their state of mind and their soul but also the psyche of a post-apartheid nation in full transformation. In the middle of this wild nature, they desperately seek their place in this tormented world.
