Episode 4 of 5

A wrong turn takes Modeste and Innocent off the beaten track and into wild terrain of the Akagera National Park.

Weary of life in the bustling Rwandan border town of Rusumo, Modeste, a blind and sickly homeless man resolves to return to his home village of Kibuye on the far side of the country with the help of his companion, Innocent, a cheeky seven year-old street orphan. The journey starts well when they stumble upon a small amount of money but little Innocent inadvertently spends the cash purchasing a basket of thirty raw eggs during a mix up in a market melee. With their peculiar bounty of raw eggs the unlikely duo set off on an adventure of a life time along the rising road cresting atop the many rolling hills of Rwanda.
A beautiful, funny and inspirational story which catapults you into life in Rwanda and one remarkable journey.

Irish writer Eoin O'Connor has spent a number of years living in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Having recently returned to Ireland, Eoin is currently working on two further feature scripts, a comedy, Family Remains, currently in development with Grand Pictures, Dublin, and a thriller set in Syria entitled Stolen, currently in development with Epos Films, Dublin.
