Show details

Synopsis


I slip into Thandi's bed in the night.

I crack her ribs and climb deep inside her chest

So I never have to leave.


Yolandi is the rebel, Thandi the school swot.


In the scorching heat of a Johannesburg summer, an unexpected bond is formed.


Two girls battle their way through unfamiliar feelings and the guilt of their country's legacy.


As they wait for the rains to come, their worlds come crashing together and we're asked - are we ever really free from the scars of the past?
