Teaser
- A visual exploration of the dilemma facing many educated Africans, stay in exile, return home either to challenge the autocratic regimes or to wait for things to change.
Synopsis
- Sobgui, a former computer programmer, is now driving a "clando" or gypsy cab through Douala's anarchic streets. He is clandestine, not just because his cab is unlicensed, but because he is hiding from his own past. When a radical political group involves him in the revenge slaying of an informer, Sobgui knows it is definitely time to get out of Douala. He goes to Germany to buy cars to start a transport business and he also has a mission to locate a son of a wealthy elder who helped him sponsor his trip.
Clando is a call to action from one African to his fellow Africans in front of the brutality of the state
"A majority of Africans are waiting, waiting for change to happen, a passivity inherited from 400 years of oppression, where things can only go from bad to worse."
