Her End Is Just The Beginning
Bereft of earthly memories, a new arrival in the afterlife struggles to recover the past, in this poetic fantasy that offers a dark reflection on personal atonement in the shadow of Kenya’s violent past. Imagine waking up one day in a barren wasteland. Amnesia leaves you clueless as to your whereabouts, your identity, and how you arrived. A small group of strangers welcomes you to a nearby oasis resort, and they reveal to you the nature of this new reality. You are dead. And this is the afterlife. This is what happens to Kaleche (Nyokabi Gethaiga) in the enigmatic opening sequence of Kati Kati, writer-director Mbithi Masya's poetic first feature film.

Kati Kati is what I might call a lean film because the story is told as quickly as possible without losing any important element. The story was daring, well-paced and delightfully authentic carried on the shoulders of a stellar cast. The soundtrack was apt, with mellow afro tunes giving more credence to the story (more good music from Kenya please). It's a small film presenting a big idea about the philosophy of life and death.
