Nukie

In the heart of the African savanna a bewildered alien child crash‑lands far from the stars that once carried his sister. While his sibling has been whisked away by the U.S. Space Foundation, this wayward brother finds himself amid the endless horizon of grasslands, ancient baobabs and a sky that hums with distant, otherworldly signals. The chance encounter with a pair of curious twins sparks an unlikely partnership that promises to bridge two very different worlds.

The film paints a whimsical tapestry where the ordinary collides with the extraordinary. Talking lions roam the plains, offering sage yet playful counsel, while a charismatic chimp named Charlie provides a mischievous voice of reason. A feisty nun, the head of a nearby mission, injects both humor and moral compass, and a greedy witch‑doctor adds a pinch of local folklore to the mix. Across the ocean, a compassionate scientist at the Space Foundation monitors the mystery from high‑tech labs, his work illuminated by an outrageous, romantically inclined supercomputer known as E.D.D.I..

At the story’s core is Nukie, the displaced alien whose luminous presence draws wonder from everyone he meets. His sister, Miko, remains a distant beacon of hope, her situation hinted at through telepathic whispers. The twins—Tiko and Toki—quickly become his guide, translators, and companions, embodying youthful curiosity and fearless loyalty. Alongside them, the mission’s Sister Anne offers steadfast encouragement, while Dr. Eric Harvey, the benevolent scientist, balances curiosity with compassion. Together, these characters weave a narrative that feels both intimate and cosmic, each interaction sparkling with the promise of discovery.

The tone balances light‑hearted comedy with the awe of interstellar travel, creating a story that feels like a joyous safari through imagination. Laughter resonates beside moments of quiet wonder, as the ensemble navigates the delicate dance between earthly traditions and celestial technology. The adventure beckons viewers to imagine what might happen when a child from the stars learns to trust a pair of Nairobi siblings, and the world opens up to possibilities as vast as the galaxy itself.
