Combining various visual formats to present a simulataneously modern and nostalgic visual impression, this documentary film follows Rebecca Achieng Ajulu-Bushell as she revisits the places her late father, political activist Rok Ajulu, recounts to her in a conversation recorded before his death. His journey spans Africa and Europe as his political activism sees him exciled from apartheid South Africa, and leads him to Europe in pursuit of an academic career. He subsequently returns to South Africa at the time of the African National Congress's transition from a liberation movement to South Africa's governing party.
