The River Used To Be A Man

Feature Film

A young German travels through a country in Africa. He meets an old fisherman near a river, who takes him deep into the wilderness in his wooden boat.
The next morning he finds himself alone in the middle of an endless delta.

The young director Jan Zabeil and his actor Alexander Fehling launch themselves into the abyss of being a stranger in a foreign world.
