A Namibian short film

In Namibia, a country where sodomy is still a crime and gay relationships are stigmatized against, two lives intersect: George, a middle-class insurance broker living in central town, Windhoek, and Simeon, a kapana seller who lives in Katutura, Windhoek's township. Two secrets. One unlikely meeting in a bar.

After witnessing the gruesome murder of his family and being kicked out of his auntie’s place, Lukas ends up in the streets, where he meets Samora and his gang. Following his life growing up in the streets, having to fend for himself, ‘Lukas’ explores three stages of the protagonist’s life.
