Even when she was about to do her hair she asked for consent. This movie is sooooooo beautiful.

This was an interesting film that will really go far if only they cud be given a chance to shows off their talents like uzalo n shuga S.A ect.
Let Me Explain the Orange at 13:30 Seconds before that part, Salome splits the hair into two and then the orange is also split but pay attention to the ring when that happens.. this means that Nomalanga's love was split into two, Sibusiso and Salome... also consider the shape of the orange and the head, they are same, so if the orange was split open it tells us that Solome got into Nomalanga's head, like it was open for her to find a place... But also the ring on the hand that breaks the orange symbolizes the permanent separation between husband and wife , and that is exactly what happened to Solome and her husband...... man there's soo much to say , this film is too deep

Wow, this production chose the best actresses and actor 👏🏾!
This is so beautiful and authentic. Everything was so relatable , the setting, the props the actors everything. I like how they sat on the couch while eating none of that table thing , which most households don’t do unless it’s Sunday. Nomalanga’s Reaction when Salome was touching her hair was so real. The family feuds , Salome is having. The rumors most black women have to deal with after their husband dies. Even something as small as the skull of an animal above Salome’s door even those small details made the whole thing just beautiful. Nomalanga kissing her was unexpected , but it was still beautiful. This is beautiful 😭😭😭
That was so painful for her to be left behind like that 🙆

Wow! Beutiful women! Thought provoking this film, the whole time i was scratching my head trying to figure out what its about, that aside i would still watch it again. Please make a part 2 i beg😍this was so entertaining and refreshing as well like its real life stuff thats unique and the actors did it so much justice 👏👏
came for the actresses and actor, stayed for the production and narration of this film
i keep coming back... i will always come back for this story. Its just so beautiful

Left SA a long time ago cause I think it’s a dying country. I saw legendary actresses today and fell in love with home again. Came back for a month and left two days ago. I absolutely appreciate this. When I saw this I got tearful..growing up these three women made my childhood special

Thank you for an interesting approach to the story. I loved the thematic contrasts, Holly vs Evil relationship. In reality church is meant to win souls and give love to those in need, but it's never the case.The kissing scene is really a twist and also releases a bomb type of a cliff hanger for it left us hanging and longing to find out more about the blossoming relationship. WE WANT MORE of these stories THANKS

When you watch a visual it’s always easy to guess what’s gonna happen, I tried but I kept on be surprised. This is amazing the content, visuals and the story line, it’s really impressive to see the kind of stories that can be produced in SA. Keep up the great work.
Creative switch between the orange scene and Nomalanga ne Neighbour. Love it
This is such a great film. Mmabatho and the cast are amazing actors.

When she held her neck during the oil rub, I knew she loved her intimately. That's the only way she could freely get lost in her touch and because of society she couldn't get any closer to her.
