Night of the Kings

Is there something that shapes our lives more than the stories we tell and hear? A visually imposing sample of cinema somewhere between tradition and fantasy, that triumphantly emphasizes the fact that storytelling is the backbone of our existence itself - even under the toughest circumstances.

Synopsis

A young man is sent to "La Maca", a prison in the middle of the Ivorian forest ruled by its inmates. As tradition goes with the rising of the red moon, he is designated by the Boss to be the new "Roman" and must tell a story to the other prisoners. Learning what fate awaits him, he begins to narrate the mystical life of the legendary outlaw named “Zama King” and has no choice but to make his story last until dawn.
