Storyline
Set in apartheid-era South Africa in the 1950s, Amina, a free-spirited café owner, crosses paths with Miriam, an introverted wife. Their unforeseen attraction leads them to challenge the societal rules that constrain them. In a system that rigidly separates white from black and women from men, the question arises: can an unexpected love defy the odds and endure?
