Nghilifa, A successful Windhoek "city zen" returns to his village after 21 years with his "colored" wife to "free" his brother, who is a cattle herder from his "backward life". At least that was the plan but the trip evolves into a journey of confrontations and exploration of stereotypes and identities.
"My father's sun", is a feature-length comedy about Nghilifa a successful Windhoek citizen, who is in a life crisis and returns to his home village, which he had left 21 years ago. He sets out to search for his little brother Hangula, who still lives in the village to ‘free' from the ‘backward' traditional life as a cattle herder in order to bring him to Windhoek. When he finally finds Hangula, he does not show the slightest interest to accompany his elder brother to the city.
In a comic way the film negotiates the relation between urban worlds of modern Africa and its traditional roots, while it takes us on a journey to traditional life and culture of the Ovambo/ Kwanyama people, who live in the north of Namibia.
