What happens

Kapana is a 2019 Namibian gay love story film directed by Philipp Talavera and written by Senga Brockerhoff and Mikiros Garoes. The film follows the story of two young men, George and Simeon, who come from different backgrounds but find love in the city of Windhoek, Namibia. The word kapana comes from preparing raw meat, commonly beef, by grilling it over an open fire; it is frequently sold at open markets. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
