London based photographer Leke (Dudley O'Shaughnessy) has it all. He's successful, has no responsibility and women fall at his feet. When a message from Senegal calls him to return 'home', he reluctantly leaves his carefree, hedonistic lifestyle behind. Having avoided his past for years, Leke finds returning to a culture he no longer feels connected to daunting. He struggles to overcome his instinct to run. As he travels across Senegal to his late Father's village, the tranquillity of the landscape and warmth of a new found community encourage Leke to slow down, breath and embrace life in a whole new way. www.peccapics.com
