Set in the Sidist Kilo campus of Addis Ababa University, Kezkaza Welafen directly addresses the social tensions of everyday life for Ethiopian university students with the dangers of HIV/AIDS as its central theme. It follows the story of the female protagonist Selam, a promising university student and advocate for the prevention of HIV/AIDS who secretly believes she too is living with the disease.

A sequel to the most successful Ethiopian film of all-time, Theodros Teshome's Kezkaza Welafen (2003). Starring Teshome himself as Ali, a cop trying to catch a serial rapist-killer, whilst in a long-term relationship with Joanna (Martha Adugna). Like the first movie, Fiker Siferd deals with a kind of horrifying, anxiety-ridding issue facing modern Ethiopians: violence against women.
