In the cardboard shacks of Anzara, the most wretched residential area in South Sudan, Louis Nua grows up amidst a miserable childhood. The young man, who works in a textile factory, decides to marry the first girl he sees smile, Nina, a street vendor selling water. But the simple worker soon betrays her with a chambermaid at the slum.
One sweltering afternoon, Ebola, the deadly virus that has struck the area, pursues Nua, taking root in his blood. The young African leaves his village, embarking on a sorrowful journey to Congo, unknowingly becoming a bridge for the fatal disease to cross there.
Through the theme of potential murder, Amir Taj Al-Sir explores surreal worlds, attempting to find an ordinary city with streets, shops, nightclubs, brothels, marriages, divorces, and love stories, both complete and incomplete.
