Synopsis:
The story centers on Amari, a young boy in the Congo who is forcibly recruited as a child soldier. He has vivid memories of being a doctor named Jabari in a past life, who was killed along with his family by a brutal general named Omari.
As a child soldier, Amari is traumatized by the violence he witnesses and is forced to participate in. He vows revenge against Omari. When their base camp is attacked, Amari seizes the opportunity, confronting Omari in the latrines and brutally killing him.
Amari then escapes into the forest, pursued by soldiers. After a harrowing journey, he makes it back to his parents’ home in Brazzaville, shaken by his experiences. The next day he wakes up with total amnesia, unable to remember the traumatic events he just endured.
The story explores the themes of reincarnation, trauma, revenge, innocence lost, and the search for identity. It follows Amari’s transformation from an innocent boy to a killer and back again, suggesting that while violence can change a person, their intrinsic goodness may still remain.
