    Synopsis

    KiW tells the story of the young Lebanese Ali, who leaves Paris after a series of setbacks to try his luck in his hometown Dakar after all. He founds KiW, a small fish factory named after the moment in which fish make their catch and their luck. And Ali’s business grows – despite the international exploitation of the Senegalese waters, heavy rains, power outages and other adversities.
    It is, however, the investment of his cousin Hacem that leads to irreconcilable differences and casts Ali away to a new, old life – on Haiti…
