Tsutsue

About This Movie

Tsutsue paints a haunting picture of grief and resilience against the backdrop of a Ghanaian coastal town. The atmosphere is thick with the scent of saltwater and decay, the landfill influencing every frame. Sowah and Okai's journey feels both personal and universal, as they grapple with the shadow of their lost brother. There's this eerie, almost magical realism in how Okai clings to the belief that his brother hasn't truly left them. The pacing is measured, allowing the weight of their sorrow to settle in, making each interaction feel poignant. The performances are raw—there’s an authenticity to their struggles that’s hard to shake off. The film’s ability to intertwine the beauty and brutality of life is what makes it stand out.

Atmospheric exploration of grief.Distinctive setting with landfill and ocean contrast.Raw performances that resonate deeply.
