  Kafi, a young man from the Nuba mountains in Sudan, travels north to Khartoum with the intention of finding a job so he can buy a wedding dress for his second wife, Tete. While he is away, he confides his feelings and impressions to a small tape recorder which he carries with him. This monologue which provides the soundtrack for the film, allows the spectator to come very close to the world of this young Sudanese man, to share with him his worries and preoccupations and to hear ‘from within’ the story of this double marriage. The backdrop for this monologue are the mountains and villages of the Sudan during the time of the impending civil war.
