Synopsis

In Nairobi, Kenya, Kena and Ziki long for a life beyond their circumstances. Despite the political rivalry between their families, the two girls support each other in pursuing their dreams within a conservative society. But Kena and Ziki face a difficult choice when love blossoms between them.

Our take

Despite being banned in its country of origin, Rafiki dazzled audiences in Cannes and became the first Kenyan film to premiere at the festival. Vibrant and sizzling with the excitement of first love, this lesbian teen romance takes a stand against homophobic laws while remaining utterly joyful.
