Synopsis

A critically acclaimed tale of revenge and redemption set in post-war Chad.

Chad, 2006. The government has granted amnesty to all war criminals. Atim, 16 years old, is given a revolver by his grandfather so that he may kill the man who killed his father… Atim leaves his village for N’djamena, seeking a man he does not know. He quickly locates him: former war criminal Nassara is now married and settled down as the owner of a small bakery… With the firm intention of killing him, Atim gets closer

to Nassara under the guise of looking for work, and is hired as an apprentice baker… Intrigued by Atim’s attitude toward him, Nassara takes him under his wing and teaches him the secrets of making bread… Over the weeks, a strange relationship evolves between the two. Despite his disgust, Atim seems to recognise in Nassara the father figure he has always needed, while Nassara sees the teenager as a potential son. One day, he suggests adoption…
