The Captain of
Nakara
Kenya – Germany - Tanzania
Story
Scene is legendary "Kwetu", a typical 1970ies
African military dictatorship. Afraid of losing the
woman of his dreams, Muntu, a small time criminal,
pretends to own a profitable market stall. His
honest attempts to turn his lies into reality fail,
due to the ubiquitous local corruption. As Captain
of Nakara, wearing a stolen military uniform,
Muntu manages to succeed in defending his rights,
his happiness - and eventually Kwetu‘s presidency!
