Lomi Shita (2013)

Set in 1972, in a season of hot Political turmoil that started the downfall of the Emperor and the mass executions of top officials, Abraham Gezahagn tells us about a child’s struggle to cope with societal ignorance of moral crime. In the paradigm of the story, the unknown narrator (as an adult) tells us a story about his mother (Misrak) and his childhood experience. He tells us about his father’s death, which paved the way for his mother’s mental instability. “Politics, love and tragedy: one family’s epic tale.”
