Set in present day Ghana, Nakom folIows Iddrisu, a talented medical student who is summoned home by his sister after their father's sudden death. Iddrisu reluctantly returns home to the vilIage of Nakom, buries his father and temporariIy assumes the head of the impoverished household and farm, inheriting not onIy the deIicate task of planting a successfuI crop but also a debt Ieft by the deceased patriarch that couId destroy the family. Attempting to maintain part of his studies from the confines of a small hut, lddrisu becomes increasingly frustrated with the incessant physical and emotionaI needs of those around him, the demanding toil of the Iand and Iack of rain. A contentious reIationship with his uncIe NapoIean, to whom the sizeable debt is owed, is further compIicated by the unpIanned pregnancy of NapoIean s granddaughter who was sent to Iive with lddrisu's family. As the new patriarch grappIes with tradition and familial duty, he is met with varying shades of contempt by both famiIy and viIIagers who compare him with his father expecting a resemblance. Iddrisu's patience and wisdom are tempered by the strange paradox created by his faith in God and desire for control, the latter of which he cannot have so long as he stays in Nakom. As circumstances swelI, Iddrisu suddenIy begins to reaIize that no future for him exists in the pIace where he is needed the most, even despite an offer by the village Chieftain to remain in Nakom to become an elder and marry his daughter. |
