It is a story that explores the week in a life of a struggling, desperate single mother,

Sisonke, who goes on a quest of absolution. She travels from church to church seeking a miracle

for her daughter who has a mysterious disability. She has been doing this for years, but now it is

not driven by faith but by a kind of wrath towards God. Underneath all of this determined,

inexhaustible self-sacrificing quest to heal her daughter, Sisonke is trying to escape her guilt. Her

journey doesn’t end, she does not find what she is looking for, she does not learn to see that it

may be closer than she realised, she continues, blinded by rage and guilt, to carry her daughter on

her back, hoping one day God will relieve her of the burden.
