Set in 1885, Africa is depicted as a tempting cake, eagerly sought after by various characters. Among them is a troubled European monarch, a Pygmy employed at a lavish hotel, a prosperous yet solitary entrepreneur, an enslaved porter, and a youthful army defector. Their intertwined stories reveal the stark contrasts of a continent grappling with colonialism and exploitation. While some characters thrive on greed and power, others endure the brutalities of racism and violence, painting a vivid tableau of a society in turmoil.
