Kafi’s Story

Kafi, a young man from the Nuba mountains in Sudan, travels north to Khartoum with the intention of finding a job so that he can buy a new dress for his second wife, Tete. For the length of his time away from home, he confides his feelings and impressions to a small tape-recorder which he caries with him. This monologue which provides the sound track for the film allows the spectator to penetrate the inside world of the young Sudanese man, to share with him his worries and preoccupations and to hear “from within” the story of this double marriage.
