Following the plight of adolescent Chanda (Khomotso Manyaka, in an extraordinary first performance) as
she remains a pillar of strength whilst surrounded by her sickly mother (Lerato Mvelase, Umkhungo) and step - father (Aubrey Poolo), scorned best friend (Keaobaka Makanyane) and judgemental neighbour (Lerato Mvelase, Hotel Rwanda), the film tells a tale of the strength of one determined teen that has an impact upon the outlook of an entire community.
