ACONIT

34 views

What starts as a light, ordinary afternoon between friends gradually shifts. Beneath the smiles, inner fragility emerges, quietly disturbing the calm. Aconit explores vulnerability and how hidden thoughts can alter perception and human connection, leaving open the question of how far a troubled mind might go.

Jemima Nzola

biography

With a background in acting and a love for stories and their life on screen, I am creating my first short as a writer and director. Curious, playful, and always learning, I want to explore, test, fail, adapt, try again, and breathe life into every story I can share and bring to others.
