Rusambo
Synopsis
Ru$ambo follows the journey of Hanayashe, a Shona bride whose lobola ceremony unravels into a maze of accusations and secrets when the bride price mysteriously disappears. With the marriage now in limbo, Hanayashe is forced to confront a painful truth: someone within her trusted circle has sabotaged her big day. To reclaim her future, she must untangle the motives of her family and close friends, exposing hidden agendas, fractured loyalties, and long-buried tensions. Inspired by whodunnit-style mysteries and African folktales of tricksters and betrayals, Ru$ambo transforms a seemingly straightforward theft into a gripping tale of suspicion, deception, and cultural reckoning.
