an African couple going through life and relationship struggles in the United
States, with a bizarre twist. The movie's tag line summarizes it here: "In
a parade of crocodiles, it is not easy to spot lizards." Or, as we

SYNOPSIS
This is a love story filled with
deception, greed and misguided intentions.
It is a story of Esther Njeri
Wanjiru, a sharp African woman from Kenya who just arrived in the United States
on a fiancée visa after graduating from law school. She has big dreams.
She wants to practice law, build a family, accumulate wealth and take care of
the family she left behind in Kenya.
After spending few months in
America, she becomes impatient with how slowly her big dream is unfolding. She
wants her dreams manifested now. After all, this is what her fiancée
promised her.
As much Esther looked forward to a new
life as a "New woman in America," Laban, her fiancée, viewed her
as “a Traditional Kenyan woman”…the kind he longed for since he
arrived in America ten years back.
Laban sees that this relationship
is becoming toxic and could spell disaster to both their dreams.
In time, Esther and Laban discover that getting along
now is the only way to assure their future in America. Esther’s patience will
be tested in a major way as she will find out much later that “it’s not easy to
spot a lizard in a parade of crocodiles” Or as we say in Swahili, ”Katika
msafara wa mamba, kenge wamo” and so the story goes…
