NEWS about this Film:
So why is the movie called ROLEX? Well, The Rolex is a street food (the street food of choice for the main character in this film) popular in Uganda, made with an egg omelette and vegetables rolled inside of a chapati. Thus the name "ROLLED-EGGS" or ROLEX as Ugandans endearingly refer to it.
