One rainy evening in the heart of Gaborone, Botswana, a small family—an older sister and a younger brother—clean up supper. As they do something they have done many evenings before, their routine is disrupted by the brother revealing a chilling secret.
It is now up to the older sister to deal with this huge revelation. Shot in a single location with no budget but all heart, this film explores the lengths we go to for the ones we love.
The idea came to me one night, thinking of my little brothers and how powerless I felt in my ability to protect them... the heart of the film still rests in the ease in which evil can come into our lives.
