In a no-man's-land in southern Africa, a huge area where poor peasants try to survive, two friends dream of moving and trying to make it in the city. Their friends and family make fun of them as they attempt to repair an old car. Under pressure from Kini's wife, they finally give up until a new worksite in the region provides new job opportunities. At last their dream can come true, an unexpected rivalry grows between Kini and Adams; it puts their plans of success in jeopardy and turns them into mortal enemies... It is the poignant story of a friendship between two men who share a common dream of starting a business. Without money to buy a car, they decide to assemble one, collecting old spare parts one after the other. But, as their relationships stumble against human flaws of their persisiting unreconciled differences. estrelado / starring / avec : Vusi KUNENE, David MOHLOKI, John KANI, Nhati MOSHESH, Netsayi CHINGWEDERE a film by / un film de Idrissa OUÉDRAOGO Burkina Faso / France / United Kingdom / Zimbawbe / South Africa, 1997, Fiction, 1h33, Comédie 5th Feature / 5è Long métrage Fiction Título / Original title / Titre Original : Kini & Adams Título Internacional (en Inglês) / International Title (English) / Titre international (Anglais) : Kini & Adams Título (França / Bélgica) / Title (France / Belgium) / Titre (France, Belgique) : Kini et Adams Outro título (em árabe) / Other Title (in Arabic) / Autre Titre (en arabe) : Outro título (em francês) / Other Title (in French) / Autre Titre (en français) : TRAVERSÉE DU JOUR (LA) Duração / Duración / Runtime / Durée : 88'52" (1h 28 minutes 52 secondes, 00:88:52) Tipo / Type / Type : Longa-metragem de ficção / Feature Fiction / Long-métrage documentaire Gênero / Genre : Comédia / Comedy / Comédie Idioma / Languages / Langues de tournage : Inglês / English / Anglais Subtítulos / Subtitles / Sous-titres : Francês / French / Français País de Produção / Country of Production / Pays de Production : Burkina Faso, França, Reino Unido, Zimbábue, África do Sul / Burkina Faso, France, United Kingdom, Zimbabwe, South Africa / Burkina Faso, France, Royaume Uni, Zimbabwé, Afrique du Sud País do Diretor / Filmmaker's Country / Pays du réalisateur : Burkina Faso País de filmagem / Country of Filming / Pays de tournage : Ano de Produção / Year of production / Année de production : 1997 Ano de lançamento / Year of Release / Année de Sortie : 1997 Cores / Colors / Couleurs : Cor / Color / Couleur Suporte de difusão / Media / Support de diffusion : 35 mm Formato / Aspect Ratio / Format Image : Scope Formato de som / Sound Mix / Format Son : Dolby A Orçamento estimado / Estimated Budget / Budget prévisionnel : TAGS : Amizade, Família, Friendship, Family, Amitié, Famille, Société "Une très grande comédie, servie par des acteurs bien dirigés". -Thierno DIA (Africiné Magazine) ELENCO / CAST / ACTRICES-ACTEURS Vusi KUNENE......................................................
