A haunting tale spiced with magical realism, Meokgo and the Stickfighter is the story of Kgotso, a recluse stickfighter who lives a solitary life high up in the Maluti Mountains of Lesotho. Whilst tending sheep and playing his concertina, he sees a beautiful and mysterious woman staring at him dreamily from the water. This story of unrequited love and sacrifice captures both the cruelty and the beauty of African magical beliefs.
Teboho Malatshi, South Africa/Lesotho, 2006, 19m. en sotho avec sous-titres en anglais.
