JONAH, the jumping fish

Mbwana and his best friend Juma are two young men with big dreams. These dreams become reality when they photograph a gigantic fish leaping out of the sea and their small town blossoms into a tourist hot-spot as a result. But for Mbwana, the reality isn't what he dreamed.

Diálogo

com ela sustentam
seu diálogo
líquido, de líquidas
sílabas
