Delivering a stellar performance, David Dontoh plays Asante, a hearse driver whose job is to
transport dead bodies from the Ghanaian capital Accra to the villages where the funeral
ceremonies are held. Asante‟s offer of marriage is spurned by most women due to the nature of
his profession, until he meets Esi, a young dancer whose mother has just died. Love-struck,
