This simmering same-sex romance is set in a traditional, patriarchal and rural community in beautiful Kwa-Zulu Natal. Nosipho and Thenjiwe are robust and modern women, whose passionate secret relationship will inevitably lead to conflict in such a traditional tribal and conservative context. While Nosipho is forced to marry a man, Thenjiwe is banished to stay with a sangoma or traditional healer in the belief that her “demons” will be exorcised.
