Dealing with themes of courage, identity, loss and self-acceptance this coming of age short film centres around 16 year old Cecilia, the youngest child of a close-knit Congolese family living in Yeoville, Johannesburg. Following the death of her father, she is increasingly sheltered by her religious and strict mother and over-protective brother. She feels trapped. The only other person she feels understands her is Nidia, the seamstress from the tailor shop whom she's promised to take to the dance without her mothers' knowledge. How will Cecilia navigate going against her mothers' wishes and fulfilling her promise? let us see what happens.
