Zoom into the very soul of a man working the garbage truck 12 hours a day in the chaotic city battling a mental setback when he loses a son.
The movie centres around Tembele, a garbage collector, who works on a truck 12 hours a day in the chaotic Kampala city. Tembele (Patriq Nkakalukanyi) and his wife (Ronah Ninsiima) are expecting their first child together.
Little does Tembele know that the child is to die soon after birth.
The shock of the loss leaves Tembele mentally disturbed. He is in denial over the death. He still believes that his son is alive.
The next day, while other people are mourning, he goes to work happily.
When he returns home, he finds the baby's bed smashed beyond repair.
Tembele wages a verbal battle with his friends, claiming that they do not love his newborn son.
He is awakened from this state when his friends fight hard to bring him back to reality.
Well, that's the part that changes everything in the movie and gives it another build-up.
The movie Tembele won three major awards in the recently-concluded Uganda Film Festival Awards grand finale that was held at The Uganda Institute Of Information and Communications Technology in Kampala on June 3.
The filmmaker successfully brings his plot to life with the different camera shots and up-to-style colour grading that he took on to give us the feel of the genre and setting of Tembele.
