Product Information
Taking place in a mythical African nation before colonization, GUIMBA THE TYRANT is a colorful and often hilarious fable about an imaginary city whose citizens are sick of its ruler. Guimba rules Sitikali with an iron fist, often beating subjects who disobey him personally. His son, Janguine, is a three foot tall dwarf whose sexual appetites have long plagued Sitikali's women, married or unmarried. However, when Janguine announces that he does not wish to marry his betrothed, the most beautiful woman in the city, but her mother instead, and Guimba obliges by banishing the mother's husband, the town revolts. A vastly entertaining fable about a tyrant who brings about his own downfall, GUIMBRA is a minutely detailed and stylish film that won the Pan African Film Festival's top prize upon its release.Product Identifiers
