Synopsis
It took Thandi from Johannesburg a year to write the script about her own life. Finally, she asks her closest friends if they will assume the roles of her family members to bring it on stage. Thandi´s father was shot when she was 13. Her mother had passed away a couple of years earlier. The rest of the family doesn´t want to talk about this. They don´t want to be reminded of the pain and Thandi feels left alone. Writing is the only thing that helps her to overcome her isolation. And now, she plans to confront them with her story, those who never wanted to listen to her: She invites her family to watch the performance.
