“War After the War Ends” is a resounding tale of Love, mental health and the unending nature of war. Not based on real life but a projection of the probable future of a people indebted to the effects of war.”
This is the story of Nkongho, once a revered figure in the village of Chang who became a separatist fighter, causing his tragic end and leaving his family devastated. His son Nkongho Julius, a teenager, deeply scared by his father’s execution and his mother’s disappearance, is trying to rebuild his life. Haunted by the past and thirst for revenge, he struggles with mental disorders and a quest for identity, becoming a darker version of his father. He struggles to break the cycle, driven by pain and a desire for redemption.
