The work

Not everything served here is on the menu.

In a cozy Nairobi restaurant, a calm and observant waiter struggling with his own trauma accidentally becomes a therapist for the lost, the lonely and the emotionally hungry. Every customer walks in wearing a mask covering fear, pride, heartbreak, grief and guilt, and through unexpected conversations with him, their truth slowly surfaces.

Created and written by Bruce Makau, who also stars. Directed by Justin Mengere and produced by Foi Wambui, in collaboration with Java House Africa.

Premiere screening: Saturday 7 November 2026, Samawi Terrace, Karen (tickets). Episodes on the Tedmade Films YouTube channel from Sunday 8 November.
