A tale of piracy in Somalia, using animation, documentary and dramatization. We are told the story of how Mohamed, a Somalian, became a pirate, up to the point when he decides whether to continue attacking ships or to begin a new life with his fiancée. Animation sequences show how the ships are invaded and describe Mohamed’s childhood in the midst of war and drought. Mohamed has a hard decision to make: the familiar, difficult and extremely poor life of his parents, or the luxurious but illegal life of piracy. Sundance and Panorama section Berlin 2014.
