Disco Afrika: A Malagasy Story

Madagascar, today. Kwame, 20, is trying to make a living in the underground sapphire mines. An unexpected event forces him to return to his hometown, where he finds his mother, old friends and the corruption that plagues his country. Swayed by conflicting feelings, he has to choose between easy money and brotherhood, individualism and the awakening of a political conscience. A delicate film, conceived as a journey of initiation through the city, but also through the past. Looking for work, but also following in his father's footsteps, Kwame (re)discovers the city in which he grew up with fresh eyes, and develops his social convictions.
