Synopsis
In the times of the world financial crisis, unemployment, migration, people search for a new different world and a better life. In our Western world, we are conditioned to believe in a life of Happily Ever After, which can be so far from reality. We dare to believe promises. We are seduced by commercialism. But is life better in the end? We have been changed, we have lost our ways and we can never return to our past. The dark side of reality must get the respect it deserves, there is no white without black, and no happiness without understanding sadness. Our fable introduces us to the most handsome man in the world Ajang and the most beautiful woman in the world, the temptress Achol. A journey from the mythical Dinka world in South Sudan, to the dreams of a new happy life in Norway.
