“The film aims to demonstrate that everyone has a place in society, regardless of their background or circumstances. It is based on a traditional Malawian folktale about a child who melts when exposed to rain,” Trindade explained.
He stressed the importance of documenting the country’s cultural narratives through film.
“The scene featuring Flora and Joyce captures the pivotal moment that ‘Kamdothi’ was created, forming the core of our story,” Trindade added.
Suya, who portrays Nyembezi, expressed enthusiasm about her role in the movie.
