On Becoming a Guinea Fowl

Shula finds her uncle dead on the road at night and the funeral that follows will not say what the girls in the family know about him. Nyoni sets the wake as a comedy of aunties and a bill that keeps growing. Susan Chardy plays Shula’s refusal to perform the right grief. The A24 trailer is the headlights and the courtyard. The guinea fowl is a warning the film heard in childhood and is now trying to use.
