Synopsis

Ten-year-old Tembi and her eight-year-old brother, Kwezi, lose their mother. Their aunt is supposed to take care of them, but once she's sold the few things they have, she disappears. The children are left with nothing but a traditional Zulu mat made by their mother before she died. Taking their destiny in her hands, Tembi convinces her brother that they should go to the big city of Durban. But once they arrive, they find themselves adrift in a terrifying metropolis. The very essence of Tembi and Kwezi's bonds are threatened as the city becomes a monster that threatens to completely overwhelm and defeat them.
