This film follows six Sudanese youth from different origins searching for their identity as they journey up and down the White Nile, between North and South Sudan, ahead of the country's secession. Facing conflicting identities, youth in the North grapple with a stale dictatorship while others in the South hope for a new beginning, but at what cost? The Longest Kiss is the portrait of a complex society and its inevitable fragmentation.
