This film tell the touching journey of one woman trying to find the courage to be herself in an oppressive (but not overly so) marriage with a bit of help from another, wildly independent and free-spirited woman.
The background is 1950s South Africa and its despicable apartheid policy.
Throughout the film are stark reminders of what that meant for blacks, whites and the Indian community.
No clichés here, just wonderful brush-strokes forming a charming and riveting film.
In the pressure cooker of apartheid South Africa, two women meet and their worlds are turned upside down.
Miriam is a traditional Indian mother – hardworking and self-effacing.
Amina breaks all the rules by driving a taxi and setting up a cafe with a local black man. In the face of outraged disapproval, their friendship flourishes.
But the price, for Miriam, is the discovery of impossible truths about her marriage.
enjoy!
