As a children's show within writer/director Rungano Nyoni's second feature informs us, the guinea fowl is a bird known for its ability to ward off predators by gathering in groups and using its squawk to alert other birds to approaching threats. The film's protagonist, Shula (Susan Chardy), a middle class Zambian woman, can't get the childhood memory of that show out of her head. When we meet her first she's driving home from a costume party, decked out in a homemade guinea fowl costume. As Nyoni's film unspools, Shula's reasons for admiring the selflessness of the guinea fowl will become painfully clear. By a strange coincidence it's the second movie to arrive in recent weeks, following Andrea Arnold's Bird, in which a bird is employed as a metaphor for a protector against abuse.
