Description

When Sembe discovers that Amu, her husband of fifteen years, is having an affair with another woman, she moves out of the matrimonial home, but is persuaded to return by relatives and friends.

However, a few months later, when Amu comes home to reveal that his mistress is pregnant with his child, everything crumbles.

The social networks, customs and love that had restrained her from leaving him initially are overcome by the deep feelings of betrayal.

The spouses, unable to resolve the matter amicably, immerse in a needless and senseless altercation that culminates in a physical fight.

Sembe moves out of the matrimonial home and the marriage collapses.

The spouses are left to struggle for the custody of their three daughters and, the ownership of matrimonial property in the plush Kenya suburb of Kileleshwa, through a corrupt Kenyan judicial system.

Kileleshwa is a tale of love, betrayal and corruption, set on a background of ethnic incongruity, political uncertainty and very difficult economic times.
