Who's here?

Open for us now!

Open! Open the shop!

What time are you opening?

Is the owner asleep?

I'm hungry.

I have an order for eggs.

Open the shop!

Come on, open the shop.

-Is the owner asleep? -Young man, where's your dad?

Why would he be asleep?

-Open the shop! -What time are you opening?

Dad?

Dad, what's wrong?

Come on, get up.

Leave me alone.

Come on, it's Saturday.

Gerald and Mama Shiro need you. They have a party.

They can keep their money.

Are you ill?

I'm… not here.

But Dad, you are here.

Look, here's your head.

Here are your arms.

And here are your feet.

This isn't me.

What happened?

They took my soul.

I'm lost.

Who?

That woman.

I'm finished.

Dad…

Dad!

The shop is closed!

Abila, what's up?

-What's the problem? -Abila.

Have a piece of arrowroot.

It's delicious today. Just like fish.

We, Luo, have become like the Kikuyu. We even feed our children arrowroot.

Like Ugandans.

Abila, what's wrong?

Dad hasn't opened the shop.

And he can't speak.

Sounds like any Friday. He probably had Mama Akinyi's special brew.

No, Mom, that's not it.

Dad really isn't well. He says he's lost his soul.

He lost his soul a long time ago.

Did you see him this morning?

You're not a baby anymore.

You know I'm at work.

Don't worry, your dad will be fine.

Are you following me?

Why would I be following you?

You were at our house.

And now you're here.

Abi, weren't you told not to speak to me?

Why?

Because I'm from Mount Kenya.

I've got Kikuyu friends here in Kiandaa.

And a girl called Shiku is my neighbor.

Your dad fired me.

Dad said you were drunk 24 hours a day.

And snoring instead of keeping watch.

Your dad is playing with fire.

Did you see him yesterday?

I'm telling you,

your dad's playing with the devil.

Last night?

Give me a moment.

Your dad was with the Nyawawa.

She strangled him and dragged him all the way down to the river.

But Dad said the Nyawawa stories are all lies.

He said what?

That they are fake.

They're not real like you and me. They're just stories.

Then why are all those guys still found by the river?

Where?

At the South Kibera border.

Look for the shadow.

The darkest shadow.

Your dad's lost.

Once the Nyawawa gets hold of him,

he's done for.

Didn't you see me?

Ages ago.

Really…

Why are you following me?

Just because.

Shiku, this isn't a game.

I must find what I'm looking for!

What?

I can't tell you.

It's a secret.

But I could help you.

Abi!

Come here!

-Guys, I'm winning this game. -Just win!

Check out who's with him.

What's up?

Abi, check this out.

Where did you get it?

What's this Kikuyu girl doing here?

Nothing.

Oh, nothing? Fine, listen up.

About tomorrow.

We're playing chicken on the railway track

with the guys from Kambi Muru.

We'll see who the chickens are.

It'll be me and the Kisumu Express.

I'll have my feet on the track for so long, they'll flip.

Where are you going?

I'm looking for the Nyawawa.

They're all over this place! Which one are you looking for?

And are you going with this Kikuyu girl?

-Hey, guys, will we go all the way? -Not all the way…

We can be with her all day

But won't go all the way

Quit messing around.

I'm looking for the Nyawawa at the border.

The one with the cow's leg?

-I heard she's called Akinyi. -That's her.

-Have you seen her? -I have.

-Who asked you? -Jerk.

-Shut up! -Hey, listen.

Don't you all go shooting your mouths off, alright?

This lady's not like you think. Nothing like what you hear.

You all know my brother who loves the ladies?

He met this Akinyi.

She almost drowned him at the dam.

That lady is bad news.

What happened?

They may be cow's legs,

but if that lady spreads them for you, you're done!

But my bro's too slick for that.

He got rid of her and escaped.

He went and married.

That lady's no joke.

Why does she do that to them?

Do you know Mama Akinyi?

The one who owns the bar at the border between Soweto and Gatwekera?

Her daughter vanished when we were kids.

I heard mom say that…

she fell in love with some guy from Makina.

But he ran off to the States with some tourist.

When she found out, she drowned herself at the dam during El Nino.

After that they found her at the Gatwekera beach.

No wonder people say Akinyi and the Nyawawa are the same person.

She came back to get revenge on men who cheat.

Quit giving history lessons and just say you want Abi.

You're such a child.

Child? Ever spread your legs?

-You know nothing. -Spread yours, then we'll see.

We won't go all the way!

We can be with her all day

But we won't go all the way

We can be with her all day

So you're looking for Akinyi?

You're out of your mind.

You want to end up like those guys who lost their souls

or like Bojo's brother and get married?

You've got a girlfriend over here.

Did you hear that gunshot?

Guys, aren't the gunshots right here at the Revival Church?

What are you still doing here?

Guys!

See how stupid your friends are?

Relax.

I'm off.

Abi, wait for me. Abi!

When we're alone, you're cool,

but when they're around, you're stupid.

Then leave me alone.

Who was following who yesterday?

What are you talking about?

I saw you stalking me after school.

From Toi all the way home.

So what?

Come on, I just use the same route as you.

Why don't you want to be seen with me?

That's not true.

Then why were you running away?

I wasn't running away.

I just have to find this Nyawawa.

Why?

My dad's lost his soul.

Did he go with her?

To her house?

I think so.

This morning he looked like a ghost.

I've seen her before, I swear.

Really?

Yes.

I know where we can find her.

How?

I knew Akinyi when I was little.

She was my nanny.

Akinyi? Nyawawa?

Yes.

And she was such a nice girl.

I think my dad's going to die.

What am I going to do?

You have to face the Nyawawa like a man in order to save your dad.

But how?

I don't know.

Show me where to find her.

There.

Where?

In there is where I saw her.

You'll have to look for her.

You're not coming?

She wouldn't show herself if I came.

Just go.

I'll wait here for you.

Abi,

go on.

What do you want?

Don't come any closer.

Come closer and you'll be sorry.

I've come to help my dad.

The father's a coward, but the son is brave.

Are you Akinyi?

I am many things.

You took my father's soul.

Are you calling me a thief?

I'm not a thief.

They come here of their own free will

and then they forget themselves, because they're weak.

-Who? -Men.

They are weak.

They can't be trusted.

They come of their own free will.

I want my dad back.

Only another man can help your father.

But a mere boy like you…

-You can't. -I can.

You can't.

-I can! -No, you can't.

Fine.

There are seven tasks you need to complete before morning.

I've seen the dark side of your father.

I've seen his fear and all of his failings.

Now you will have to face them.

But… will it get him his soul back?

There will be a sign before each task.

A sun…

shining very brightly.

Afterwards, light will be restored to your father's darkness.

-I don't understand. -Of course, you don't.

Because this is about the otherness inside a man's soul.

It's a totally different world.

The reason why you are you, and someone else is someone else.

One!

Slip into someone else's skin

and inhabit it in front of others.

Two!

Pay someone else's debt without stealing from someone else.

Three!

Help a sinner who's in trouble without judging him.

Four!

Fight a battle against a new world.

Five!

Use your wits to save someone else's life.

Six!

Discover an unknown place and understand the difference.

And the last task.

Confront the monstrous snake, the one you fear the most.

Now go. Look for the sign.

One last thing.

Tell no one of these tasks.

Otherwise…

all your efforts will be in vain.

Did you see her?

And?

I have to find a sun.

Not that one.

How can you let a child go by itself?

-She told me she was waiting for Vinni. -What? You're a grown man.

-Stop blaming me. -Who else can we blame?

You should have gone with her.

Get out of my sight.

What's this doctor telling me now? HIV?

HIV, he says?

They're two!

This is the end of me.

Now, what will these children do?

This can't be my fault. It's the mother's fault.

It cannot be my fault because I have done all I can. But…

The children won't listen.

One of the reasons is that their mother doesn't talk to them.

I don't want to defend myself alone.

There are plenty of other men here.

I want a man to come up and defend me. Because you're witnesses.

No lying. Young man.

You defend me.

Come on.

Slip into someone else's skin and inhabit it in front of others.

Come up here, man.

Let's see if we can solve this problem.

Come on up here. Speak as your father.

Here, take this.

It must be clear to you, that it isn't my fault, right?

Was this child born only to its mother?

Wasn't there a father, too?

Let's call a girl up here too, so she can support all women.

You there.

-Come over here. -Those people brought women to Beijing,

so don't ask a little girl questions like that.

We've agreed that children belong to both parents.

So go on, "Mother" and tell this "Father"

that the children aren't only yours.

Listen here.

You helped the mother make the baby,

so the child belongs to both of you.

Now you listen to me.

It's the job of the mother

to take care of the children, cook and do small jobs around the house.

The mother is closer to the kids, because the father is always at work.

He's too busy to be with the kids.

The father's job around the house is to beat them.

The mother has to keep them clean. I don't have time for that.

-Exactly! -So…

I have to think of the future, right?

So you admit it's your fault, because you're not responsible?

-Say, your wife is pregnant… -Ask him, he's my representative.

She's pregnant.

Let's say she was in labor and the dishes are dirty.

Will you wait until she's given birth so she can do them?

I'll get a maid.

No, there is no maid.

I can't wash dishes.

Let's say, for argument's sake,

that, unfortunately, you can't get a maid.

-Now, I have a question. -Ask away.

Ask it!

Stop avoiding the question.

Do you admit I've won?

Abi, where are you going?

You made me look like an idiot in front of all of Kibera.

What?

My "Mother" just made your "Father" look stupid.

Are you calling my dad stupid?

No, not stupid.

It's just that his opinions have spread.

What do you mean?

They're old-fashioned.

But, I don't like being laughed at.

Abi, you made those people laugh.

That's cool, isn't it?

Where are we going?

I saw another sign, another sun.

Where?

On the T-shirt of our landlord's thug.

Kamangu is going to our shop.

I don't think Dad's paid the rent.

Open up.

Come on, open up.

The bald guy, is that him?

Yes.

Is your dad home?

I told you what happened.

Put up the sign.

You will pay me. Put it up.

Put it up. You think you can get away with it? You will pay me.

Let's go.

Stop, thief!

Stop!

There he goes!

Stop him, he's a thief!

Thief, today you'll burn!

Help a sinner who's in trouble

without judging him.

Help me.

Stop, thief!

-Stop, thief! -Where did he go?

Where is he?

He went that way.

By the way, what's he done?

He stole my mobile!

Thank you.

What did you do?

Take this.

If they catch me with it, they'll kill me.

Pay someone else's debt without stealing from someone else.

Now I can get the cash to pay the rent.

It's a stolen mobile.

So what?

Selling a stolen mobile is just as bad as stealing it yourself.

He gave it to me. As a present.

Since when is a stolen mobile a present?

Do you want to get yourself killed?

Don't be such a baby. This is the rent.

Your dad won't let you pay the rent with money from a stolen mobile.

Did you see me steal it?

Why do you refuse to understand?

All the boys around here are idiots.

Leave me alone.

I'm sick of you!

I'm the one who's sick of you!

Auntie Susan, wait.

Auntie, where are you going?

I'm off to work in Karen.

You know the place, Mama Claire's.

Auntie…

Dad's lost his mind.

Please, go talk to him.

What?

Right now?

Auntie, please, Mom will listen to you.

Dad needs help.

So what's happened to my sister's husband now?

It's hard to explain.

I want to come with you.

-Can I come with you to Karen? -No.

-Please, don't leave me. -Another time maybe, but not today.

You promised you'd take me some time.

I did, but not today, alright?

Forty bob to Karen, this car!

Only 40 shillings to Karen!

Please get on, Madam. Forty bob to Karen!

Take the seat up front, madam.

Just sit there.

Only 40 bob!

Two more passengers to Karen.

Forty bob! Just two more passengers!

Two more! It's 40 bob!

It's 40 bob to Karen! Hey, kid!

Have you got money for the fare?

It's 40 bob.

That's only 20.

It's 40 bob. Ever taken a share taxi before, kid?

What's this?

Please.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Fight a battle against a new world.

-Are you getting off here? -Yes.

Off you go then.

Thank you, Madam.

-Driver, let's go. -I'm getting off.

First, you pay only 20 bob and now this.

You're not making any friends, get off.

Is that your kid?

Help me set the table.

Use your wits to save someone else's life.

Auntie, why didn't you wake me?

I was just about to.

Abi, you did a good thing, coming with me to Karen.

It was God's will that you came.

And you did a very good deed.

Really.

Auntie, we should get back.

Okay, let's go.

From my dad.

He's so black, when he holds a baby, it falls asleep thinking it's night.

This guy's wife is so black, she scares off the devil.

When his mom holds a baby, it falls asleep thinking it's night.

I'll push you around if I feel like it.

What are you going to do about it?

Guys, look! Another idiot from Soweto.

Today we'll see who the idiots are.

-What's up? -Where were you?

What've you got there?

Give it here.

Today's Sunday.

-Save this school stuff for tomorrow. -Get this stuff out of here.

Today we are going nowhere, okay?

I won't argue with you!

Go away!

Hey, my guy…

Guys, it's the Kisumu Express. Hurry up, get ready, it's time!

If we win, the tracks are ours.

Fine, but if we win, you never show your faces around here again.

Brother, Willie, hang on.

Don't chicken out.

Hang on. Don't chicken out.

Hang on!

Willie, don't chicken out!

Confront the monstrous snake, the one you fear the most.

I'm finished.

You have to face the Nyawawa like a man in order to save your dad.

I've seen the dark side of your father.

I've seen all of his failings.

I want my father back.

A mere boy like you cannot save him.

Your dad's playing with fire.

He lost his soul a long time ago.

Mr. Brian, are you happy?

Discover something incomprehensible and understand the difference.

Tell me, what are you doing?

I'm trying to understand.

That's fine.

But I don't think this is a very good place to do it.

Please let's go somewhere else.

Alright.

I thought you were sick of me.

I thought you were sick of everything.

I'm going to see how my dad's doing.

Do you think he's okay?

I hope so, after what happened.

Going to church today?

I need to speak to the man upstairs.

This is for you from me.

Thank you.

Abi, give the lady a hand.

You're okay?

That was some hangover yesterday!

-Kamangu was here yesterday. -What did he want?

Why did he come on Saturday instead of Friday?

Abila, come here.

Hurry up and get dressed for church.

Auntie Susan told me about yesterday.

All the guys from this street are stupid!

Leave me alone!

I'm sick of your bullshit!

I'm more sick of you!

Hey! Let's go! Let's go!

If the Lord wills!

Okay. The last one.

See?

I can't even see.
