About This Movie

Amakki is quite an intriguing piece, really. Celia Boussebaa crafts this dreamy narrative that feels both intimate and expansive. Set against the lush Sidama coffee hills, it weaves together the lives of two women and two children, exploring themes of love, loss, and resilience. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative at times, allowing you to linger on the emotional highs and lows. The performances feel raw and genuine, bringing a certain warmth that perfectly complements the vibrant visuals. It’s not every day you see a documentary that feels this much like a poetic drama—there’s a distinct flavor to the storytelling that sets it apart from your conventional narratives.
