CGiii Comment

The only interesting thing about this film is that it was filmed and produced in Guinea. So, well done for that achievement.

But, it is painful to watch.

The acting is bad, the direction is bad - it's just bad.

The usual themes are explored, money, class, ambition, guilt, love, denial and naiveté. Even against an African backdrop - it is stale and unaccomplished.

It does have a huge heart and, yes, it is interesting to watch - only because of its cultural location. Otherwise, give it a miss.
