Beskrivelse
Set in East Africa, Paradise follows young Yusuf, who embarks on an unexpected journey with his uncle. Unaware of the true reasons behind this trip, Yusuf faces a world shaped by debt, power, and the looming shadow of colonialism.
A coming-of-age tale woven with myth, tradition, and the harsh realities of colonial Africa.
Yusuf, born in East Africa, accepts his journey without question. He never wonders why he must travel with Uncle Aziz or when he will return. What he doesn’t know is that his 'uncle' is a wealthy and influential merchant, and Yusuf has been given to him as a form of repayment for his father’s debts.
Paradise is a vivid and intricate narrative blending myth, dreams, and elements from both Biblical and Koranic traditions. It tells the story of a boy’s passage into adulthood against the backdrop of an Africa increasingly marked by colonial violence and corruption.
