- Summary:
- "[T]he first feature film on male homosexuality from sub-Saharan Africa ... is a contemporary African version of the age-old Romeo and Juliet conflict between love and social convention. ... When Sori and Manga tell their parents they are in love, they respond that, 'It's impossible; since time began, it's never happened. Boys don't do that.'"--Container sleeve.
