Kienyeji tells the story of two university students, Cynthia and Charlie, from conflicting Kenyan communities who fall in love and plan to marry despite their families' opposition. The narrative explores tribalism and cultural differences as their attempts to unite face challenges, including a failed ruracio due to unpaid dowry, food poisoning at a second attempt, and ultimately, divorce pressured by Charlie's father. Amid exams, financial struggles, and personal setbacks, their journey unfolds with Ohangla and Mugithi music, raising questions about love and tradition. Will love triumph, or will societal pressures prevail?
