In 1950’s South Africa, apartheid is just beginning. Amina (Sheetal Sheth) has broken all the rules of her own conventional Indian community, and the new apartheid-led government by running a café with Jacob, her “colored” business partner. When she meets Miriam (Lisa Ray), a young traditional wife and mother, their unexpected attraction pushes Miriam to question the rules that bind her. As Amina helps Miriam’s sister-in-law to hide from the police, a chain of events is set in motion that changes both women forever. In a system that divides white from black and women from men, what chance is there for an unexpected love to survive?
