A film-maker, travels to a small rural town to visit her retired nanny and domestic worker, Margaret Bogopa Matlala.&nbsp; Set against South Africa's backdrop of change, the film explores the two woman's friendship and life-long connection that flourished despite the barriers placed between their families. Margaret was forced to leave her own family behind, to care for another, a sacrifice made out of the necessity to survive and provide. This personal yet universal tale of love and loss exposes the often painful realities of life behind closed doors.
