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.
A mesmerizing meditation on the art of storytelling, Night of the Kings was screened in the leading festivals around the world. Philippe Lacôte refuses all genre expectations and the tense interplay between narrator and listener involves dance, combat, song, poetry and prose.
Filmography: Run (2014).
