A darkly surreal stop-motion allegory about colonialism and exploitation in 19th-century Africa, blending historical critique with grotesque imagery and multiple perspectives on suffering and complicity.

In 1885, Africa is a succulent cake destined to be wildly divided and everyone wants a piece. A disturbed European king, a Pygmy working in a luxury hotel, a successful but lonely businessman, an enslaved porter, a young army deserter, a ghostly clarinetist. Some benefit from colonialism and greed. Others suffer racism and violence.
