Thundering Smoke

In a black and white world where everyone sees only in black and
white, a mysterious hitwoman in her early 50s, Barni, resurfaces
in a Somali village after years of vanishing without a trace to
seek vengeance against the ruthless crime boss, Ardo, who rules
the village with fear.

On a fateful night, a young bus conductor, Abshir, 21, witnesses a
deadly sword fight between members of Ardo’s gang and Barni, the mysterious hitwoman. To his shock, Abshir sees Barni in COLOUR, something no one else in his world has ever experienced.

Driven by an insatiable curiosity, Abshir embarks on a secret
mission to track down Barni in an attempt to uncover her true
identity but what begins as an innocent intrigue quickly spirals
into a dangerous pursuit, pulling him deeper into a perilous
world, where escape is no longer an option
