Welcome back to Lifam Inc recaps. Today, I'm going to explain the movie queen of Cowe released in the year 2016. The movie opens up in Cowe a slum in Kampala, Uganda, where a 10-year-old girl, Fiona Mutesi lives with her family in her family. She has her mother Naku her sister Knight and two brothers Richard and Brian Fiona and Brian are compelled to sell maze for their family's daily expenses. Their father died at a young age and they have no house to live in and no property to dwell on the family's goal is to just eat and live for the next day. Fiona and Brian are strictly instructed by Naku that they must sell the maze worth 1000 shillings to return home. After Brian finishes his part of selling maize, he just hands his basket to Fiona and goes somewhere. On the other hand, we see Robert as a football coach and a talented engineer looking for a stable job. Despite his good marks in college, he's denied at job interviews as he does not have anyone in the higher ranks in politics. He teaches the kids in slums to play football because he thinks it's the only way they can improve their living standards. When some of the kids are afraid to play football, he suggests they play chess as it will help them improve their intellect. The next day when Brian, once again, leaves early by handing his basket to Fiona, she decides to track him. She secretly follows him and reaches a place where Robert is teaching the kids in the slums to play chess there. Fiona sees children, happily playing and enjoying the porridge that Robert is providing them for free. While Fiona's looking at all this. Robert notices her and calls her inside. As soon as she enters some of the children there start making fun of her. They call her a pig as she is smelling bad. When a boy teases her to her limit, she attacks and fights with him. Robert likes her fighting spirit and he offers a jug of porridge. He then takes her to another student Gloria and asks her to teach her the basics of chess to Fiona. Fiona is so intrigued by the game that she cleans herself up and arrives at the place. The next day, Robert teaches the moves of chess, relating them to their daily life obstacles, and instructs them on how to be safe from all the traps and possible defeats. Fiona and Brian are both very interested in the game and they practice with their kind of chessboard. Even at night, Brian wins the match and Fiona feels like she can never defeat a boy. After some days, Fiona starts getting better at chess and even defeats the boys in their training class. Robert carefully supervises her game and finds her playing some moves, which he never taught. Later he asks her about where she learned the moves, Fiona replies, that she learned it all by herself, as she does not know how to read books and extract ideas. Soon the kids start asking Robert about when he'll take them to play against the rich boys in the city. Afterward, Robert visits, the office of Enoch, Karumba the chairman of the Chess Federation. He requests Barumba to allow his children to play in the father Grimes tournament happening soon. Barumba refuses his request stating that only sophisticated children will be there and only pointing out that the slum children have no manners. and discipline. However, Robert manages to convince him after promising to pay the registration fees for the kids. Following that we see Robert playing football to collect some money for the chess tournament. Fiona. and Brian also recognizes him and cheers for him throughout the game. After the game, Robert directly visits bar Roomba's office and hands him, the tournament fees for his kids at Robert's home. His wife hopes to find out that he's been playing football for money. She gets angry at him because, in the past, Robert had injured himself badly while playing football . Elsewhere. a coal shop owner tells Naku that an evil man is using her children, upon hearing this Naku starts following Fiona and reaches the training place here. Fiona defeats the chess champion of Robert's class and becomes the new champion shortly after Naku arrives there and takes away Fiona and Brian threatening Robert to stay away from her children the next day, Robert visits Naku and informs her about the advantages of playing. He further explains that her children are very good at the game. He also promises to admit the kids to a new school after they're back from the tournament. This finally convinces Naku, who agrees to send her kids to the tournament happening at King's College, the scene then shifts to the kids, getting into a van for their journey to Kings college. The kids are taken aback after they see the beautiful college and the students wearing similar uniforms. However, they're also scared as they've never been out of the slums. At night, they can't sleep on thick mattresses as they're not used to it., hence they decide to sleep together on the floor. Their nervousness is seen the next day too, as they hesitate to face their opponents, Robert arrives in their room to console them and motivates them with one of his usual stories. He tells them that the city students are playing the game just for fun, but slum kids are playing the tournament to change their lives. Hearing this, the kids get motivated and they set out to face their opponents. The tournament begins. And even though the slum kids seem afraid, they continue to play their games. Fiona is paired with one of the champions of the tournament shortly after one of the slum kids named Benjamin checkmates, his opponent, this sparks confidence inside every player. They face their opposition valiantly. And after some time Fiona wins the game against the former champion and eventually wins the tournament. She is awarded a gold medal and Robert and the other kids are ecstatic for her. As they're about to head home. Fiona still cannot believe that she defeated a city boy from school. Back in Cowe Robert introduces Fiona to hope who is also a school teacher. He then asks his wife to teach Fiona how to read books later that day, Fiona and Brian are selling maize in the market while they're playing with a toy. Brian gets called by a man from the other side of the road. As he tries to cross the road, he gets hit by a motorcycle, Fiona immediately rushes to pick Brian up and somehow takes him to the hospital. As the family has no money to pay for the medical expense. Naku quietly sneaks Brian out of the hospital. The next day, when they return home, they find their landlady at the entrance asking for their rent. As a result, they're compelled to leave the house and stay at the roadside that night Fiona's sister visits them and hands Fiona, some money for food. At this moment, Fiona does not feel like playing chess and stays with her mother. After some days, Robert visits, Fiona and brings some food for her family. He asks Fiona to play a game with her, but she easily gives up and loses the game. Seeing her demotivated. Robert suggests that she should never underestimate herself and should keep on fighting to the last bit. He also stresses that she has a great talent and should never let it go to waste. The next day, Brian and Fiona are back to their training class and everyone is happy to see them shortly after Fiona starts practicing in various tournaments and wins.
