Beti and Amare is a historical science-fiction film set in 1936 Ethiopia. Beti, a young Ethiopian girl has escaped Mussolini's troops and found refuge in the peaceful south of Ethiopia.

When the situation threatens to escalate towards the unthinkable, a spaceship cracks through the clouds... its cargo... love.
