I am not sure what the film is about in its entirety, but the main
storyline is a lesbian romance in Nairobi. It is the first Kenyan film to
be nominated for the Cannes film festival and will premiere there on the
8th of May.

Here is the trailer for the film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M_-ucSaFpU
