Strahinja and his wife Ababuo left Ghana with a dream of a better life in Europe. Instead of reaching the western part of the continent, they were deported back to Serbia. Strahinja has started to build himself a career, while Ababuo is unable to fulfill her ambitions and feels increasingly frustrated. When she disappears one day, Strahinja sets out to find her.

Stefan Arsenijević: “As Far as I Can Walk is a re-imagining of a traditional medieval epic, in which contemporary African migrants take the place of Serbian national heroes. Urgent and timeless at the same time, the film raises questions of identity, tradition, race and love.”

Filmography: Do Not Forget Me, Istanbul (2010), Love and Other Crimes (2008).
