SILVER

Amidst the tight-knit Sidama community in Southern Ethiopia, a grief-stricken farmer sets out to avenge his son's murder, all while desperately trying to protect his daughter from meeting the same fate. As tensions rise, the farmer’s world is further complicated when he finds himself drawn to a free-spirited American anthropology student, whose modern ideals and lifestyle seem worlds apart from his own. The unlikely couple must navigate their differences and confront the dangers threatening everything they hold dear. (Note adapted from Habeshaview.)
