Plot

This drama muses upon the brotherly love that develops between best friends and the devastating effects the intervention of reality can have upon heartfelt dreams. Kini and Adams live in a dull, dusty rural South African community and both are dreaming of leaving it behind to find fortune in the big city. To this end, they begin fixing up a battered old automobile. As hardscrabble farmers, neither has money and getting car-parts is a real challenge. That Kini is married to the domineering Aida and has a daughter also presents an obstacle. But the real break between the friends happens when a rock quarry opens and the fast-witted Kini is hired as a supervisor while Adams remains a regular grunt. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
