action

Set against the backdrop of the Miraa trade, Veve tells the story of several people who seek love, prosperity and retribution in a world full of political intrigue.

Amos, an unscrupulous local politician, is running for governorship for the Maua area while trying to grow his empire at the expense of his business adversary, Wadu. When his wife Esther discovers the true nature of his business, she seeks consolation from Kenzo, a bitter young man who seeks revenge for his father's death. Sammy, Amos' right-hand man, wavers between being loyalty to his job and giving up being a caring father to his rebel son, Kago. Meanwhile, Maua's farmers found a union to force Amos to finally pay fair prices for their Veve. Clint, a would-be documentary filmmaker wants to help the farmers and ventures too far - completely blind to the dangers into which he is maneuvering himself and others.

As events begin to tumble, it becomes apparent that the fates of all of you are much more closely interwoven than you can imagine.

background

The joint initiative of Tom Tykwers and Marie Steinmanns One Fine Day Films, DW Akademie and the Kenyan production company Ginger Ink. Has set itself the goal of supporting the development of modern African film.

Seven mentors from Germany and Great Britain taught for two weeks in the areas of direction, production, camera, production design, editing, sound design, screenplay and acting. 56 participants from eleven African countries had the opportunity to expand and deepen their existing knowledge at the workshop. The focus was on the artistic aspect of developing your own film language and implementing your own ideas. At the end of the seminar, certain participants were selected from the individual trades that produced Nairobi Half Life. The script, written in Swahili, Kikuyu and street slang, was developed by local screenwriters.

The One Fine Day Films Workshops are a partnership project between DW Akademie, One Fine Day Films and Ginger Ink, supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development , the Film- und Medienstiftung NRW , the Goethe-Institut Nairobi, ARRI Film & TV Services and the Hubert Bals Fund.
