A young man is sent to “!La Maca“, a prison in the middle of the Ivorian forest ruled by its inmates. As tradition goes with the rising of the red moon, he is designated by the Boss to be the new “Roman“ and must tell a story to the other prisoners. Learning what fate awaits him, he begins to narrate the mystical life of the legendary outlaw named “Zama King“ and has no choice but to make his story last until dawn.

FILIP LAKOT / PHILIPPE LACÔTE
Philippe Lacôte grew up in Abidjan near a movie theater called "Le Magic". In 1989 he was a reporter for the radio with a series of sound portraits on the fall of the Berlin Wall. Later he made his first short films (The Messenger, Affaire Libinski) shown in several international festivals. Alongside these very narrative fictions he developed since 2002 a documentary work with films written in the first person (Cairo Hours, Chronicles of War in the Ivory Coast). His first feature film Run (Cannes 2014, Un Certain Regard) is the junction of these two approaches.
Ancient tradition fuses with modern struggles in a prison in Ivory Coast.
Nicolas Rapold, The New York Times
