This science fiction fantasia follows the romance between a miner and an intersex runaway at a hacker's commune, in a future world brutally exploited for precious metals. Filmed by a cast and crew of Burundi refugees, it was a nominee for the Queer Palm in 2021.
In the hilltops of Burundi, a group of escaped coltan miners form an anti-colonialist computer hacker collective. From their camp in an otherworldly e-waste dump, they attempt a takeover of the authoritarian regime exploiting the region’s natural resources – and its people. When an intersex runaway and an escaped coltan miner find each other through cosmic forces, their connection sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry.
