Synopsis

Marshal Mobutu’s regime is into its final days. The Alliance of Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Congo-Zaire (AFDL) are only a few kilometers away from the capital. In Kinshasa, members of the regime are restless: they have no idea how things will go down for them. Ngani is the Marshal’s most loyal bodyguard, and he is in charge of the delicate task of bringing Mobutu to a safe place. Meanwhile, the rebels, in league with General Nzimbi, plot to assassinate Mobutu. They reach out to Ngani for help. If Ngani collaborates, the rebels will ensure his family’s safety as well as his own. Ngani is left with a difficult decision to make : should he remain loyal to Mobutu, or save his family from the dangers just around the corner?
