Set along the tranquil yet mysterious shores of Lake Victoria, this evocative tale follows Okoyo?a once-mighty wrestler now grappling with age, dwindling fish, and memories of glory. As dawn breaks over Agoro village, life stirs around the lake that has sustained generations. But beneath its shimmering surface lies a storm of change: invasive fish species, colonial legacies, and ominous signs from nature. Through Okoyo's eyes, we witness the quiet power of tradition, resilience, and a people's deep spiritual bond with their land and waters. A poetic reflection on identity, ageing, and survival, this story honours the soul of a community shaped by the rhythms of the lake.
