A post apocalytic surreal love story in Ethiopia!

Set against the backdrop of spectacular post-apocalyptic Ethiopian landscapes, the film follows a strange-looking scrap collector, Gagano (the charismatic Daniel Tadesse). Alternately gripped by daydreams and constant fears, the diminutive Gagano has had enough of collecting the priceless crumbs of decayed civilization, including the most valuable: merchandise from Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan. When a spaceship that has been hovering high in the sky for years starts showing signs of activity, Gagano must overcome his fears - as well as a witch, Santa Claus and second-generation Nazis - to discover things aren't quite what he thought.

In post-apokalyptischen Landschaften Äthiopiens sammelt Candy, einem Müllsammler, die Reste der Zivilisation ein, zusammenhanglose Elemente von Michal Jacksons Bildern und Michael Jordan. Auf seinem surrealen Trip vorbei an Hexen, dem Weihnachtsmann und der nächsten Generation von Nazis - immer in der sichtbaren Reichweite eines Weltraumschiffes, das über der Stadt schwebt, wird er mit sich selbst und seinen Ängsten konfrontiert, um schließlich herauszufinden, dass die Dinge sich nicht so verhalten wie er glaubte.
