A young man from a village in the Congo hopes to offer his family a better future. When he sets out on an exhausting, perilous journey to sell the fruit of his labor, he discovers the value of his efforts and the price of his dreams. A documentary literally “Out of Africa,” with an iconography that, according to its director, alludes to the films of Gus Van Sant.
