Dead Man's Wish

2024 80 min English

Lisoso Mathias has received news that his illness is terminal and that he needs to put his house in order within six months before his demise. But Njoh aka Kabongo, his elder brother is eagerly waiting for that day as he stands to inherit all of Lisoso’s property (which includes his wife Veronica and children, Sonia and Loise) as demanded by tradition if the dead man has no male child. But Sonia is declared the heir on the day of the will reading by the barrister appointed by Lisoso. Kabongo enlists his idle son and his cohorts to track down the Barrister and reclaim the will. He sets out to eliminate any witness to the will. Without a will not witnesses, will tradition prevail over the Dead Man’s Wish?
