Handling:
”Gode kenyanske piger bliver gode kenyanske hustruer,” men Kena og Ziki længes efter noget mere. På trods af den politiske rivalisering mellem deres familier, forbliver pigerne nære venner og støtter hinanden for at forfølge deres drømme i et konservativt samfund. Da kærligheden blomstrer mellem dem, bliver de to piger tvunget til at vælge mellem lykke og sikkerhed.
Plot (English):
Kena and Ziki long for something more. Despite the political rivalry between their families, the girls resist and remain close friends, supporting each other to pursue their dreams in a conservative society. When love blossoms between them, the two girls will be forced to choose between happiness and safety. Inspried by Monica Arac de Nyeko's ”Jambula Tree”, which chronicles a story of two girls in love in Uganda, ”Rafiki” challenges deep rooted cynicism about same sex relationships among actors, crew, friends, and family in Kenya.
