When Suki’s fiancé takes her to an isolated farm to buy a goat, she immediately wants to leave, but soon realises the ancient Mugumo tree is demanding she pay back a debt she didn’t even realise she was carrying.

On the eve of her 25th birthday, resolved to finally lose her virginity, Waks embarks on a thrilling escapade to the city. But to really enjoy her birthday gift, she must confront and shed the religious trauma and shame that have long burdened her.

SOMETHING NECESSARY is an intimate moment in the lives of Anne and Joseph. A woman struggling to rebuild her life after the civil unrest that swept Kenya after the 2007 elections claiming the life of her husband, the health of her son and leaving her home on an isolated farm in the Kenyan countryside in ruins, she now has nothing but her resolve to rebuild her life left. A young man, troubled gang member who participated in the countrywide violence is drawn to Anne and her farm seemingly in search of redemption. Both, Joseph and Anne need something that only the other can give to allow them to shed the painful memories of their past and move on.

A woman asks "what's the meaning of democracy?" as she looks back over the politics of Kenya from the 1960s to the 2007 election.
