A Screaming Man

In 2006 N'Djamena, with civil war closing in on Chad, Adam (Youssouf Djaoro) has spent decades as a pool attendant at a resort hotel. When the new managers downsize, his job goes to his own son, Abdel (Diouc Koma). Mahamat-Saleh Haroun follows a father pressed to contribute to the war effort, with no money to give and only one asset left, the boy standing beside him at the water's edge.
