The story takes place in the 1960s on the impoverished Cape Flats in South Africa. Four boys form a teenage gang to protect themselves from bullying and rape, and almost as soon as their childhood pact is declared they begin the downward spiral to become hardened gangsters. Some years later the gang leader, Abraham, discovers in jail that he has a gift for telling stories and becomes the prison "cinema" which earns him respect and status whilst his best friend becomes the concubine of the cell boss. On his release Abraham begins to write his stories and develops a new lease on life with his childhood sweetheart, Jenny. Meanwhile his gang buddies rope him into the murder of a taxi driver for which they will be hanged if proven guilty.

Wow, what captivating screenplay at it's BEST! A true and sad reflection of what some of our South African communities are still struggling with... And so well depicted. ****** I give it 6 Stars.

Was very transparent. Reality of the flats life. Gangsterism and decisions made about life is reflected well in this movie.

it did hit me so heart it shows what's really happening to our youth its actually so sad
