Synopsis

Being arrested for murder, two brothers exist between modern township life, gangsterism and ancient African culture. To survive in the township, Lucky and Bongani learned early on how to get drugs, procure money and pick up girls. The two brothers share everything: the bed, the food and now even an accusation of murder. Their mother does not pay much attention to her sons, but their grandmother is on their side. The rift between these generations becomes extremely obvious. The old people still have the sense of honor of African tradition and their progeny have only a tiny chance of escaping the squalid suburbs.
