Adnan is a revolutionary war hero whose love for fighting and his AK-47 are rivalled onlyby his feelings for Lina, his long-suffering sweetheart. When Adnan is late in returning to his military unit after leave, the army commander launches a kasha: the rounding up and arresting of truant soldiers. Adnan is caught-off guard and makes a run for it with his friend Absi. They plot ways to reunite Adnan with his gun — and with Lina — while avoiding their fellow soldiers. Through a series of wry and humorous incidents over 24 hours, we explore life and ideology in rebel-held areas of Sudan.
