[woman 1 in Zulu] Oh, wow.
In my day, we'd send over sensible gifts, you know.
Like chicken. Do you know a live chicken?
Yes. Or a sheep's head.
Not like these kasi-rolls that you all make.
[in English] It's casserole, Mavis.
[whispering] Lord, give me strength.
[lively music playing]
[woman 1] And folks, as we explore KwaMashu, you will feel the vibrancy,
the life, the friendliness of the people.
You can't get this anywhere else.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen,
that's the end of our tour.
I hope you enjoyed it. Please don't forget to tip.
And don't forget to pay for those lovely and amazing T-shirts that you've got on.
Thank you! Thank you very much.
Thank you! Thank you.
I thought you said these T-shirts were complimentary.
Yeah, no! I said I give compliments, sir.
You look very nice.
You look like a… a white Denzel Washington.
You're handsome. [chuckles]
[man 1 in Zulu] Make it snappy, girls. Fold that thing nicely.
-Wow, Dad! You're exploiting us. -Wow. Wow.
[in Zulu] How's it going?
[exclaims] My love.
You walked here?
I just wanted to feel
-KwaMashu one last time. -Hm? Yes.
[girl 1 in Zulu] Mom, in the trash?
Do you know what that billboard did for you?
-[chuckles] -Huh?
How do you think
-your school fees were paid? -[girl 1] Oh,
-we are so sorry! -You've been telling us this story.
-[mom] Lu, you be quiet! -You know what?
What do you think was feeding you all these years?
-[Lu] Sorry then. -[girl 1] Okay.
[woman 2] And what's with the dirt in the house?
This is not just dirt.
It's Mavis Miracle Mud, if you didn't know.
[in English] This is traditional medicine,
passed from generation to generation.
-I'm gonna miss this house. -Same.
-[camera shuttering] -[girl 1] KwaMashu.
Do you think we're doing the right thing?
[girls giggles]
Yeah.
-Say, "Bye, KwaMashu!" -Bye, KwaMashu!
[enthusiastic music plays]
Wow, Grace, Grace, Grace.
No.
-No. Dismiss that thought. -[in Zulu] Morning, morn…
[in English] Hello, Sizwe.
-[Sizwe exclaims] -It's for the neighbours.
-But there's so much, we can-- -Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thanks. [sighs]
-Hello, boy-boy. [chuckles] -Hello! [murmurs]
[in Zulu] Mrs Steinberg says our neighbours are politicians.
[chuckles] Mrs Steinberg thinks every Black person
-who lives here is a politician. -Shh, shh, shh, shh. Silence.
-[sighs] -[woman 2] Good morning, everyone.
Just letting you know that the new people have arrived.
[upbeat music plays]
-[squeals] -[in Zulu] So cute!
-Let's go! -Let's get them!
-[singing] Let's get them! -[cheering]
-[singing] One, two, three, go! Let's go! -[woman 1] I hope these people
have understood the way the estate works.
[woman 2] Hi, everyone.
-I'm still looking for my cat Fransie. -Nobody cares about your cat.
[woman 3] Not off to a good start.
What's with all the singing and the dancing?
-[singing] Yeah, yeah! -[in Zulu] My love! [cheering]
Hello, lovelies. [sighs]
I want everyone to relax.
I have everything under control.
And yes, Linda, I do have the code of conduct printed,
bound and put in hard copy.
But I'm thinking, let's give it to them on the second day
and allow them to just settle in.
So everyone, relax.
Grace has got this.
Thank you.
[exhales] Because soon, they'll meet the Khumalos.
[upbeat music playing]
[woman] Phe-phe.
[Sphe] Mommy!
You don't think we should invite the neighbours for your memulo?
After all, white people love those things.
[exclaims] They love them.
[Sphe] What? The whole estate?
[Sphe in Zulu] No, Mom. It's Memulo.
[in English] Not Fyre Fest.
[doorbell rings]
Aaah… I think there's somebody at the gate.
-People already? -I think it's the neighbours.
Okay, let's go and meet them.
Put on your best smile.
Hm! Hm-hm.
-Hey. -Hm, Okay.
-Smiling. -Okay.
-[in Zulu] The Sitholes! The Jobes. -[titters]
-Here we come. [chuckles] -[gate creaking]
[anticipatory music plays]
[Grace in English] Khumalos, here we go! Smile.
[girls giggling]
‎[Grace] Mh!
[dramatic music plays]
-[glass shutters] -[exclaims]
-Ma. -Grace.
Uh… [splutters]
Hi! Welcome, everybody, to the neighbourhood.
-Um… I am-- -Leaving.
-We are leaving. -What?
-Thank you. We're leaving. Ma. -[mom] Yes.
-Leaving. We're leaving, Ma. -[in Zulu] Go! Go!
-Stop dancing, Vusi. -[mom] Leaving!
[in Zulu] Go back to whatever sewerage you came out of!
This is a very classy neighbourhood.
The only sewerage is you.
The only thing that smells like it.
-Let's go. -[in Zulu] Get back inside the house!
[Sphe] There goes the neighborhood.
Get back in the house! Didn't you hear me?!
-Back in the house! -[Grace sighs]
How do you know them?
I don't know them.
I used to know her and she is the most deceitful.
-Judgemental. -Backstabbing.
Narcissistic.
-Witch! -Witch.
You will not look at, or even speak to.
Or dare breathe in the direction of that family.
Is that clear?
[music playing]
Good. [sighs]
[in Zulu] You're right on time.
[grunts]
[sighs]
[in English] You wanna talk about it? [sighs]
[Grace] Mm-mm. I don't want to talk about it.
[Vusi] What did that woman do to you?
-Nothing, I just hate her. -She just hates me.
[Grace] And she's cruel and cannot be trusted.
And I never wanna see her again.
What?
‎[upbeat music plays]
No! What?!
No, feelings are for failures.
Yes! Yes! No, but we then need to do it properly.
No! No remorse! Yes!
We go for the testicles!
-That's illegal. -Shh!
I'm in a meeting.
Wha-- [laughs]
Are you serious right now?
Well, I'm saying that they're not right for the neighbourhood.
You follow what I say because it's my right
as the head of the body corporate!
-You are supposed to be my bulldog, Barry. -[intense music plays]
So, start biting!
We have standards to uphold.
‎[music beats plays]
[intense music stops]
[whirring sounds]
[Vusi in Zulu] I don't want to judge you, but you look like a crazy woman.
[in English] You're judging me.
[pants] Hello! Oh, Mom,
-I'm stealing your car, yeah? -Take your dad and I'll get
-you a brand new car. -You what?
-Take him before he dies. -[Sizwe] Okay.
Take him.
-Okay, let me go. -[whispers] Let's go, let's go.
[dramatic music plays]
[in Zulu] She thinks she can invade my privacy?
Okay, you want something to watch?
I'll give you a show.
[glass clatters]
That's for you, Gracious.
[in Zulu] You Satan!
You know, someone is going to die today! I'm going to kill someone today.
-I'm from KwaMashu! -[in Zulu] Mom, what's wrong?
[in English] That woman thinks she can run me!
Me! I'm Bongi Goodmore Sithole.
-[in Zulu] Over my dead body! -[Lu chuckles]
[in Zulu] Get her, Goodmore wakwaMashu!
-Stop it. -[laughs]
[in English] You're so unserious.
[Grace] Oh, no, no, no, no!
What in the informal settlement is going on here?
Oh, no.
You can't do that!
-I just did. -You cannot do that!
I said I just did.
Your move, you Satan.
[Mavis in Zulu] Grace, come quickly. Run so we can watch Sizwe!
-[whistle blows] -[scoffs]
To be continued.
[whistle blows]
-[woman] Grace, have you seen my cat? -Darling. [Grace chuckles]
Who cares about your damn cat, woman?
-[in Zulu] Hurry up! Hurry up, man! -[Grace in Zulu] I'm coming!
I was busy out there
-with that crazy Bongi. -Turn it on, turn it on!
[pants, in English] Volume.
This house believes
-in an authoritarian model -[Grace exclaims]
-where the parent knows -Sizwe!
-what's best for the child. -[Mavis] Khumalo.
-Master debater. -Parents aren't in charge of their
-children's futures, they share this, -[exclaims] My grandson!
-and until that child turns 18, -Top master-bater!
-I'm telling you. -then it's the parent who should
-Debater. -make all the significant
decisions.
-Well, this house boldly -[Grace gasps]
-Why am I being haunted? -declares that both
-permissive and authoritative -What does this chick want there?
-models can co-exist. -If a parent doesn't take charge
-of a child's future then athletes -Eat her, Sizwe.
-like David Beckham and Serena Williams -Eat her.
‎-wouldn't even exist. ‎-But champions aren't made
‎by helicopter parenting.
[sighs] You see, they crafted
their greatness with their parent's guidance, not their control.
I think that my opponent needs to broaden her knowledge base.
And I think my opponent should jump off a cliff.
[crowd laughs]
[Sizwe scoffs]
-[sighs] -[chuckles]
[kissing]
So? Do you still want me to jump off a cliff?
I want you to do exactly what you were just doing.
[chuckles]
-Wait. -Hm-mm.
Are we gonna address the elephant in the room?
Perfect, what…
[sighs] Right.
-The absolute shit show. Yeah. -Yeah. Mm-hm.
Like, so much for hard-launching our relationship.
I know, right? I had a speech prepared and everything.
-I know. -Yeah.
But like, what are the odds our parents would
-know each other? Like… -I know, right? [chuckles]
Does six months even really count as a relationship?
-Yes, okay? -Does it?
It counts for me.
Which is why, [tuts] I booked our baecation.
-You did? -Mm-hm.
And we're still going?
Yeah, why wouldn't we?
Because our moms literally hate each other
-and we've literally been banned. -Yeah, I was thinking
maybe we just don't tell them.
-[chuckles] -Hm.
-Still in? -Mmm.
-Fine. -Mm-hm.
But no funny business.
-Yeah. -Not until after my memulo.
-Okay. Okay. -Mm-hm.
[inhales]
[Mavis in Zulu] It will make you look beautiful.
[sucks teeth] Keep it on for 20 minutes before you rinse.
I think that's enough. Hm. It looks good.
Just a little more.
-[woman in red shawl] What's happening? -[sucks teeth]
Let me just put a bit more here.
[woman in red shawl] Why're you putting mud on her face?
[Mavis] No, my sister.
[in English] This is not mud.
This is traditional medicine.
I got terrible pain.
Will it help me?
Yes, it depends.
Where's the pain?
I've got a pain in my head, in my sides, in my back, in my a--
[exclaims] Yeah.
Yes, so you have pains everywhere?
It's called…
-the daughter-in-law. -[exclaims]
-What? Daughter-in-law? -Yeah.
I have the same pain.
-Oh, you too? -Her insults are like fire,
[in Zulu] I tell you. Fire!
[in English] Oh, okay.
How much?
-[Grace] Yes? -[Vusi] Love,
[in Zulu] you need to stop monitoring those cameras.
Vusi, I asked you to stop micro-managing me.
[Vusi] It's becoming an obsession.
Your mental health.
Focus, Grace.
See, I lost her because I'm talking to you.
Now I can't see her! Where is she?
Do you know how you can help with my mental health?
Is getting that filth out of the garage and speaking to your mother
about that mud business of hers, because seriously.
[whispers sarcastically] Mental health.
[Sphe] Alrighty, fam-bam.
[in Zulu] I'm out.
[Bongi in Zulu] Oh, you're leaving already?
-Yeah. -[Bongi] You look beautiful.
-Thank you. -Have I told you how proud I am of you?
-Aww. -Aww. Aww.
[in English] All the time, Mommy.
-Okay, let me go. -[sighs]
[in Zulu] Yeah, when will you be back?
[in English] What fresh hell is this?
Like this has become my new life.
I'm in hell.
[Sizwe] I need your car to get to the study camp in Ballito
and mine is only coming back on Monday, so…
No spinning, racing,
-or dicing! Is that clear? -Deal.
[Grace] Deal. [chuckles]
[upbeat zulu rap music playing]
What?
[in Zulu] Is that Satan's son?
-[Sphe] Hi, Mommy. -Phe-phe.
[in English] Where are you?
I just got fetched by my friend from campus.
Which friend?
-Hmm? -My friend…
[in Zulu] Nandi from campus.
[in English] And also, Mom, I have to go.
-I need to save my battery. -Phe-phe.
-Phe-- -[Phe-phe hangs-up]
How to find [signs]
peace from an annoying…
neighbour. Hm.
‎[sighs] Whoo. Okay.
[inhales]
Breathe in. [exhales] Out.
You've got this.
[Bongi yells] Gracious!
Gracious!
[in Zulu] The day I get my hands on that demon of yours--
[woman] Yoo-hoo! Good morning, dear.
Mrs Violin, good morning.
So sorry. Don't mind me.
-I just heard some shouting. -Excuse us.
We're just in a… [chuckles] cultural thing. [chuckles]
-[in Zulu] Amandala. -Is ours!
[in English] Ours, ours! [chuckles]
Where do you think this is?
Coming here and shouting like you're selling fish.
[in Zulu] Oh, I can't scream,
[in English] but your son can kidnap
-My son… Oh, no! -innocent children?
So, you think my son with your daugh…
-She is not our type. -Go tell that to your son,
-you idiot! -I would if I could, but he isn't here.
-He's on a study retreat in Ballito. -With my Phe-phe.
[in Zulu] Oh, my father
-must be turning in his grave. -No, I saw them leave in the car together.
[in English] Honestly, Bongi.
You need to take this bullshit
-and leave me alone. -[in Zulu] Hey, you!
-[in Zulu] What? What? -Hey you!
-Don't you dare talk to me like that! -What will you do about it?
-Gracious! Gracious! -What do you want from me?
-Shoo! -[in English] Gracious stop! Don't you
walk away from me!
Gracious, don't walk away from me!
Hey, you Satan! You second-hand!
You witch!
[sighs]
[Sizwe] Hey, we got here in time.
I think we should take the scenic route.
-What do you think? Yeah? -Yes! Yes.
-Let's get some views! -Mm-hm. Oh, yeah.
Well, I mean, my view is perfect right here, so…
-[coyly] Babe, so sweet. -[chuckles]
Sizwe, you sneaky little snake.
‎[music beats playing]
[Grace] Who are you, Sizwe?
[lively music plays]
[whispering] Are you even my son?
Yeah. Doctor Khumalo.
‎[scoffs] Huh.
[upbeat music playing in the background]
[in Zulu] Oh, wow! Chiefs, the Boys of Peace and Tranquility.
‎Umm!
[in Zulu] My brother! So you come here too?
[sighs]
[exclaims, sighs]
You know, this is my hometown.
Desmond.
-Vusi. -Ah, Vusi.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
Des, tell me,
-did you watch the game last night? -Don't even mention it!
It just causes me heartburn.
No, no, no.
You know, my friend, I feel like I'm in a toxic relationship.
[in English] Speak about toxic relationships.
[both exclaim, laugh]
[in Zulu] What are you doing here?
[in English] I know where the kids are.
Oh, okay.
So now you believe me.
They are 45 minutes ahead of us.
-We need to go. -We?
-We. -[in Zulu] Me and you?
-You and I. -[in English] Gracious, I am not going
-anywhere with you. -They are spending the night together.
I saw the booking, okay?
So we need to go.
And leave that food.
I'm not leaving my food. I eat when I'm stressed.
Then you're always stressed.
-[scoffs] Says a whole MJ. -Do you have a car?
-Yes, I do have a car. -Okay.
This is ridiculous.
-Just let me sit in the front seat. -No, no, no, no, no.
Honestly, there's no space here at the back.
-Red robot. -[tires screeching]
[gasps] Wow. [scoffs]
Are you seriously gonna eat right now?
-Mm-hm. -[hisses]
[Sizwe] Hey, how's the planning for umemulo going?
Yeah, it's going well.
Um, I have a few fittings and a rehearsal soon.
You're sorted with your traditional drip, right?
Traditional… [hesitates]
-Babe. -I… Well I do have a three-piece
fitted Armani suit, so.
-Armani? Oh wow! My oreo. -Mm-hm.
No! Please go traditional.
That's not going to happen, I'm sorry.
But I guarantee that when you see me in this suit,
oh, you're gonna fall for me all over again.
-Oh? Oh. -Guaranteed.
-Mmm. -Who even said I'd fallen at all?
Ouch.
-[chuckles] -Ouch, I didn't--
-Okay. [chuckles] -Yeah.
‎[sighs]
[charming music playing]
[Sphe clears throat]
Sphe.
-Yeah? -[sighs softly]
[exhales] I want to tell you something.
[Sizwe sighs]
I…
[clears throat] The view…
It's… it's amazing, right? [chuckles]
[snickers] Yeah.
Yeah?
-Yeah. -Yep.
[clears throat]
[Bongi] Okay, green, green! Here.
-Okay. -[yelps]
-Which way? -[pants]
Uh-uh.
[in Zulu] Uh! Where are you going?
-No, no, no! -[grumbling]
-Grace, you're gonna kill us both! -Uh-uh!
[sighs in relief]
I'm sorry, but… [breathing heavily]
Umm, okay, alright. It's fine.
My makeup. [pants]
-I refuse to die in a Picanto. -[toy squeaks]
‎[Grace pants]
It's a Picanto.
[anticipatory music plays]
[upbeat music playing in the background]
-[in Zulu] My friend… -Yes.
You brought a whole restaurant with you?
[in Zulu] Grace doesn't approve of me eating just anything, and anywhere.
[Desmond] No, man.
I can't let you do that to yourself! Never.
Have some.
-Okay. -Have some.
Yes. Yes.
It's just that…
What will Grace say?
You know…
There's things Grace should never know.
-Absolutely! -[both laugh]
-Have some. -[exclaims]
-Have some. -[both chuckle]
[Grace] Your car is a death trap!
[Bongi] My car is not a death trap.
-It is. -What, did you die? [in Zulu] So get lost!
Shh, shh, shh, shh! [whispers] Here's the car.
Give me the car keys.
-Give you the car keys? -Oh, just open, please.
It's a Merc, you don't have
-to assist the boot. -Just stop.
-It's automatic. -Huh.
-What are we taking? -Take it all.
They can't camp without food or gear.
Take everything.
-Shucks! They coming. -Take everything.
They're coming! That's them.
-Put this down! Put it back! -No, I am not putting it down.
-They will not-- -They're gonna see us.
Move! They're gonna see you.
Move.
[indistinct chatter]
[both grumbling]
-Grace, stop it! -[indistinct chatter]
[mumuring] Oh--
-Do you see something? -[Sphe] Where?
No, don't… don't worry about it. I'm sure
it was just a shadow. [chuckles]
[Sphe] Babe, you know we wouldn't be seeing shadows
if you had just booked a hotel.
[Sizwe] Okay, here. [sighs]
-[Sizwe] I'll keep you warm. -[chuckles]
Mm-hm.
You take such good care of me.
-[Sizwe] I try. -[Sphe] Wow.
Shh!
[Sphe] This I like.
-What do you-- Oh, you like that? -Mm.
-I do. -What about this?
-Hmm? -Yes.
-[Sizwe] Okay, what about… -[Sphe] Very much.
this?
[giggles]
-Sizwe, you animal. -[chuckles] Hm. Yeah.
[Grace murmuring]
[whispers] Stop it.
-[whispers] I'll kill him. -[Sizwe] Well, we are in the wild, right?
Did you bring me here to eat me or something?
-[Sphe] Oh my God. [chuckles] -[Sizwe] Uh…Yeah.
[both groaning]
Your daughter!
-It's your son! -Shh!
Shh!
[kissing sounds]
-[man] Mr Khumalo! -[kissing continues]
-Oh, yeah. -[clears throat]
[man] Uh, your campsite is ready for you, sir.
-[Sizwe] Um, yeah, sure. -Oh, thank you, God.
-[man] I just need to inform you -[Sizwe] Hey. Hi.
there's been two roaming lions that haven't been seen since Tuesday.
-I'm sorry, what?! -But we're almost certain
-your site is secure. -[Sizwe] Oh.
-Almost certain? -Oh, okay.
-Secure. -Yeah. Correct.
-Okay, thank you. -[Sphe] I'm sorry, you're almost certain?
That it's secure.
Babe, no.
-[Sizwe] We'll be fine. -You know I'll kill him.
-[Sizwe] It's gonna be great. -I'm gonna kill her.
‎[huffs]
Okay.
So, what did you get?
[sighs]
I got the emergency lights.
-[panting] -Gosh, Gracious!
-What? -What? They don't need lights
-for what they're going to do. -And Bongi, what did you get?
-What did you get? -[huffs]
Okay, we have work to do.
-Stop annoying me! You irritant! -[panting]
-And there we go. -Mmm.
-Yeah? -So cute, babe.
I know, right? [chuckles]
-Mm… -[glasses clinking]
I think there's something on my lip.
Yeah, it's uh… It's the whole moustache.
-It's just… [laughs] -Oh, wow, you punk.
-Sies man. [chuckles] -I'm kidding, come here. [laughs]
There we go.
This is all your fault,
-you know? -My fault?
-My fault when your daughter -It is!
-is the one that seduced my son? -Oh how did you even find this place?
Um, my dad and I come here a lot.
He connects with nature and I connect with him.
I just wish I could tell my mom.
She would love you.
-I hate him! -Shut up!
-No, you shut up! You shut up! -You shut up!
-You can just get lost! -Just shut up!
Shh!
-Do you know how to tiptoe… [indistinct] -Shh, Gracious! Shush!
[comical music plays]
[indistinct chatter]
[Grace] They're here.
[Sizwe] Like now, right here like this.
Bingo.
[Sizwe] You look so beautiful.
[chuckles]
-Babe. -[chuckles]
-Thank you. -I just want to say…
[breathy] Yeah?
I need…
Mm-hm?
I…
I need to pee.
-Ah-- -Yeah.
Babe, where are you going?
Ah yeah, I just need to-- Just to the bush.
-What's he doing? -[Sphe] No, there are literal
-lions on the loose. -He's getting away from her.
-[Sizwe] I'll be fine, don't worry. -Babe!
-Shucks! -Oh.
[Grace squeals softly]
Oh!
[Sphe] Do you see anything?
[Sizwe] All quiet.
-Is he-- -[gasps] Shh!
[Sizwe] Babe, there are literal lions on the loose.
[Sizwe] Nope, not a lion in sight.
[Sizwe exhales]
[gasps]
There goes my bag.
My Versace.
-[Grace sighs] -Now it's a Versa-pee.
[comical music playing]
[sighs]
‎[crickets chirping]
-[Sizwe chuckles] Yeah. -Not too shabby.
-That's for you. -Oh.
-Okay. [chuckles] -Yeah. [chuckles]
Yeah?
-Mmm. -Mm-hm.
What is he feeding her?
[Sphe] Scrumptious.
Join me.
[sighs] Don't mind if I do.
-[Sizwe chuckles] -Okay, we've got to try scare them.
But fix your wig.
-You're scaring me. -Oh, Gracious.
That is the least of my problems.
You're scaring me! Stop looking at me!
I wanna fix your wig.
It's freaking me out.
Oooh!
Babe.
-Did you hear that? -No. [hesitates] Scarier.
Like something… [growls] You know? Like…
Um, does it?
That sounds like a--
What is…
Do you know what? Um…
[mimics a roaring lion]
That's not a lion.
-Of course that's a lion. -You can't say… [grooo]
-It sounded like an old car starting. -Yeah, I know, um…
[coughs] You know, because of where we are, I think sound travels up here.
It travels? Well, I don't like it, babe.
-[Sphe] It feels like we're being watched. -Okay, I'll try. [clears throat]
[imitating nocturnal animals]
-Um… -Like what is that?
-Is that a pig? -[snorting sounds]
-[Sphe] Did you hear that? -Okay, um…
-You know what? We should probably -[growling sounds]
-just get into the tent. Yeah. -Babe! Yeah.
-Come. -They're going inside.
That's not what we want.
-Babe, hurry! -Yeah, yeah.
Okay, we might as well play them Barry White.
-You're such an idiot. -Stop! I'm trying to think.
‎[pants]
Wait, the internet is your friend.
[growling from phone]
[mimics growling]
-Is that what a lion sounds like? -We're okay.
-I don't know. -We're okay.
-[mimics growling] -Oh, if that's what the internet says.
[pants] Babe, what was that? [panting]
It sounds like someone who's hungover
-from a club. [heaves] -Shh! Shh.
[panting]
Okay, I'll… I'll do it again. Go.
-[thrilling tongue] -[Bongi growling]
-[growls] -[yelps]
-Okay, okay! -[screams] Don't leave me!
[comical music plays]
-Grab your shoes! -Babe! [cries]
[Sizwe] I'm sorry! I thought you were behind me!
-[Sphe] Wait for me! -Let's go! Let's go!
-No, babe. [squeals] -[Grace laughs]
[both laugh, cheer]
-Well done, Gracie! -Well done!
Well done, Bongi! Well done. We did it.
Well done. [breathing heavily]
[Grace] Take that.
-[snake hissing] -Okay.
What else is here?
Um… [pants]
Is… is that a snake?
-[Grace] Huh? -What? Gracious, get off me!
-[Grace] Is that a snake? Huh? -[Bongi] Get off me. Grace!
-[panting] -Grace, get-- Get--
-[panting] -What?!
[both screaming]
-[Grace yelps] A snake! -Grace, wait for me! Grace!
-Those are your ancestors, you idiot! -[Grace] Never! Never!
I told you.
Sizwe, I told you I don't like camping and nature and animals.
-I just-- I can't. -I know.
-I'm sorry, I just thought that… -What? You thought what?
-That you knew best? -No,
I thought that it could be romantic.
[Grace] Calling the snake my ancestor.
[Bongi laughing] That's right!
That was the worst trip ever.
-What? -[chuckling]
Worse than our matric tour to Nkandla?
Oh, no. [chuckles]
Nothing could ever be as worse as that trip to Nkandla.
I mean, that bus had no air-con.
I mean, no brakes! How did we survive?
-And the windows wouldn't open. -Mm-mm.
Then the boys started to have a farting competition.
-Imagine that. -Do you know that, that fart
went into my hair?
-[exclaims] -I tried to find you soap
except I came back with lotion instead.
And when I went to go look for the soap,
I tried finding-- Where were you?
I don't know, I was just-- I just got distracted.
I just forgot what I was supposed to do.
I guess that's just you.
Getting distracted and just forgetting…
me, forgetting everything.
[sad music plays]
[dish clatters]
-[Grace clears throat] -[gasps]
-Grace? -[dramatic music plays]
Oh, Grace! Grace is here!
Shh.
-Shh. -What happened to you?
[sighs] Disaster, calamity, sheer catastrophe.
You will not believe the day that I have had.
I need to burn this outfit.
[sighs] I need a bath, and I need a glass of wine.
Just… wine.
‎[music beats]
How did you do that?
Hmm? Oh. [chuckles]
Whatever my beautiful Grace wants, I deliver.
Mm-hm?
[tuts] Well, your beautiful Grace wants you
-to run her a bath. -Okay.
Why do you smell like meat?
It's my new perfume.
-But-- -No, you need a bath more than I do.
It's called burnt meat.
But you need to take a shower
-while you run me my bath. -[Vusi] Parfum.
I've got something I need to do.
Parfum?
[Grace exclaims]
[dramatic music playing]
[Desmond hisses]
Ah, my Des-des.
-Ah, mama. -[in Zulu] Listen, listen.
Let me tell you something.
I've got an idea for a skincare business.
That's good news, ma'am.
Good for you! It's just that my wife is--
Listen, this thing is imported from Maropeng--
I'm pretty sure it's just clay from the taxi rank.
Business man, listen,
-you're going to promote it. -Goodness! Me?
[in English] Why me?
[in Zulu] Because I see you
sneaking around with Vusi. I've got my eye on you.
I see you.
I've got my eye on you.
[sighs]
[in English] You have been… [sighs]
so good to me.
[somber music plays]
[huffs] I mean…
you've carried my Bible.
[sighs] You've carried my tithes.
And most of all,
you…
have carried…
my pink little assistant.
Thank you for everything you've done for me.
Versace Khumalo…
[sighs]
rest in luxury.
-[groans] -[Mavis exclaims]
-[sighs] -[in Zulu] Where have you been?
[in Zulu] My sister, people are hustling out there.
-I was also hustling. -Um,
[in English] when are you gonna remove the mud?
Oh, are you referring to Mavis Miracle Mud?
Hmm?
[in English] I need it gone, please.
[huffs]
[Grace laughs]
Don't you know that Mom has eyes everywhere?
[chuckles]
[dramatic music plays]
Sizwe, you wanna be a player with that whore, hm?
Let's play.
The kids are outside! Just check.
‎[music playing]
Thank you.
[in Zulu] Here you go.
No.
-Hmm. -[Grace exclaims]
Do you even chew?
Because you just swallow, swallow, swallow like an anaconda.
[in Zulu] What? Are you starving?
[in English] Uh-uh! I haven't had a carb in ten years, as you can see.
No wonder you're so miserable.
The only thing that's making me miserable is your offspring.
And besides, I have botox.
Sphe, my dear, is pure.
-[snickers] -Pure, pure, pure.
Pure.
[Grace in Zulu] My dad would turn in his grave.
[comical music plays]
[Grace] What we need to do, dear,
is pry them apart because there is no way I'm going to share a grandchild with you.
[scoffs] I would rather die.
[Grace] As we both know this thing won't work.
They're just adolescents, you understand?
‎[Bongi slurping]
-[in Afrikaans] Gross. -[clears throat]
-[in English] What? -Nothing.
[Bongi] So, what's the plan?
I will give Sizwe an offer that he can't refuse.
And then you, my dear, will take Snare
-back to that little township of yours. -It's Sphe.
For Siphesihle, as you well know, Grace.
You know what? This me-you time as if we're friends
is not gonna work for me. And besides, I am tired of looking
at your dry skin.
[in Zulu] Whoa, don't you dare insult me.
-[in English] I use aqueous cream. -Aqueous cream? I rest my case.
[Grace] Ta-ta.
[slurps]
Shit.
-[Sizwe] Hey! -Hey.
You know, the strangest thing just happened to me.
What happened?
I just got an acceptance letter to the Ireland Study Abroad program.
-[scoffs] -That's incredible! That's your dream.
Uh, ye… yeah.
-Babe! [sighs] -[chuckles]
-Um… -Hm?
-That's great. -Yeah.
No, it… it was my dream, but I'm not so sure.
What if we went together?
[sighs] Babe, I have things keeping me here.
-Yeah, no! No, I know. -My mom, my community work.
-[sighs] -I have so many responsibilities.
-[sighs] -Yeah, I know, I know.
Of course.
I mean, I just--
Wait, you don't think that I don't?
No, of course, of course you do.
-Yeah. -I'm just saying.
Our lives are just so different.
We're so different.
Yeah.
Well, it's one of the things that I lo-- like so much about us.
-Mm-hm. -We're different, and we work.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-We do work! -We do work.
-[chuckles] -I told you.
-We do. -We definitely do.
[Sphe sighs]
[gentle music plays]
[Sphe] Hmm.
[Grace] Sizwe Nkosi Benson Khumalo, congratulations my son.
Uh, they called you too?
Well, not quite, I gave them a call and I pulled a few strings.
-So come, let's celebrate. -How come you didn't pull
those strings this entire time?
Because I wanted to make sure that this is what you want.
And I realised it's only six months without you, I can live.
Um… [sighs]
Actually, you know what? You won't have to.
Cause I'm not going.
Why? This is all you've ever wanted.
Well, Ma, what I wanted was to earn it.
[Grace] Well.
But besides that, I um… I can't just up and leave anymore.
I've got things to consider.
What things?
All I'm asking is for you to take some responsibility
-for your memulo. -[sighs]
-[in Zulu] After all, it's your memulo. -But you're on top of it though.
[in English] Yeah, I was, but between the move, the business,
things around the house, you guys, your father,
[in English] I'm swamped! I'm really swamped.
Ma. [sighs]
How am I supposed to commute up and down to KwaMashu
-and still have time for school? Like-- -Phe-phe,
are you really, really, honestly going to drop me
-in my hour of need? -Fine, I'll do it.
Thank you.
Pleasure.
-Hm. -[phone chimes then vibrates]
‎[phone chimes]
Oh, of course you were unsuccessful, you idiot.
[rousing music plays]
Could you please help me set the table?
[in Zulu] Oh, shame.
I'm so sorry. I can't help you much.
My neck is just so… Where is that massage gun of yours?
-I think it's in the kitchen cupboard. -Okay.
-Hm! Something smells nice. -No, no.
Nobody's touching that until after Bible study.
-Bible study? -Yes,
and we're all doing it together tonight.
[doorbell ringing]
-[in Zulu] No way. -Phe-phe, get that for me, please.
[in English] Just add butler
to my very, very long list of duties.
[door opens]
Yo, Seeps!
-Zakhele? -Seepety Seep Seep!
-Oh, my days! Hi. -How're you?
[both] Wow.
[Zakhele] Hi! How are you?
[door closes]
Come on in.
Damn! This is a big-ass crib.
-[woman] You must be Sizwe. -Ye-- Yes.
Your mom has told me a lot about you.
Come in.
-Charlotte! -Auntie Gracie!
[Gracie squeals] You are stunning.
-Thank you. -[Grace] Isn't she gorgeous?
-Yeah. -Mh!
-Welcome, darling. Welcome. -Thanks. Stunning!
-Thank you. -Stunning.
-All me. [exclaims] -[exclaims]
[Both] Mwah! Mwah!
-[humming] -[all chuckle, cheer]
-Ma B! -[laughing]
[Bongi squeals]
-[Bongi] Thanks for coming, I made tripe. -Hello.
Your fave. [chuckles]
You know, that scripture
-is just so profound. -The story of Ruth
-just resonates with me. -[Grace sighs]
Especially the scripture where it says,
-"Where you go, -[Grace] Hm.
-"I'll go." -I will go."
-"Where you lodge…" -"I shall lodge."
-[Grace sighs] -Goosebumps.
Wow, Charlotte.
Okay. [tuts]
-[in Zulu] Please, dig in. -[Zakhele] Thank you.
Bone-apple-teeth, everybody!
-Huh? [laughs] -[laughs]
[Bongi] Oh, that's so funny. [laughs]
Bone-apple…
-Teeth! [laughs] -teeth.[laughs]
[girls laugh sarcastically]
[Bongi] Okay.
You know, Sizwe, I'm dying to know what your favourite book is.
Oh, my favourite book?
-Mm-hm. -Um, probably
-is… Probably Harry Potter. -[Grace and Charlotte laughing]
[Charlotte] No!
I mean your favourite book in the Bible, silly.
-Right, right, in the Bible. -Your favourite book in the Bible.
Uh, probably also Ruth.
-Really? -[Sizwe] Yeah.
-Ah! -[Sizwe] Yeah.
-Well, look at that. -[Sizwe] Yeah.
Look at that.
-[Grace] Hm! -[Sizwe] Because
-what other book is there? -[Grace] Look at that.
-Right? -Really.
[in Zulu] So, Zakhele, Tell me.
-What are you up to these days? -Yes.
-Are you working? -[Zakhele in Zulu] I do work, sir. I um…
[in English] I add rhyme to poetry.
I have no clue what he means.
[Sphe in Zulu] In other words, Dad, he's a rapper.
-[mimics rap] -Yeah, but rappers are very rich, huh?
-Yeah. -Very, very rich.
-[Bongi] Very wealthy, very wealthy. -[Zakhele] Mm-hm.
You see, guys, on my last beat, I got 300 views.
-Hmm? -Hm.
-[smacks lips] And it earned me 50.
Fifty thousand?
-[smacks] Fifty rand. -[snorts]
‎[giggle]
-[Grace] Cheers. -[Mavis] Uh, to Ruth.
-Hm. -[chuckles]
-Thank you. -Hm.
-Eye contact. -Or seven years of…
[both] Hmmm… [laughing]
Stop!
-That is a gorgeous bracelet. -Oh, this?
You know, I just try my very best
to collect a charm from each and every
-single country I visit. -And that is a chunky bunch.
-You must be an avid traveller. -Oh, you know I am.
You know I am.
-[Grace laughs] -And honestly, one day
-I would just love to relocate to Europe. -[sighs] Europe.
-[Charlotte] Ah! -You know Sizwe used to love travelling.
-Used to? -But that whole interest just diminished.
I'm thinking, maybe you could help ignite that flame.
-Oooh. -[Grace] I'm thinking Europe.
[gasps]
-Summer, I-bi-za. -Huh?
-Ibiza? -On me.
-Stop. -Yes.
-[Grace] Ah, yes. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, that is such… such a…
-cool… bracelet. -[Charlotte] Great.
-Right? [chuckles] -Um… Yeah.
Honestly, I can just imagine the Ibiza charm right now.
[squeals]
Cause diamonds…
[Grace and Charlotte] Are a girl's best friend! [laughs]
[Grace] Oh, my gosh, perfect. [clears throat]
[Zakhele] So, what you been up to, Seeps?
[Sphe] Oh, you know, just been so busy.
-Memulo planning. -You got a mems coming up?
-Mm-hm. -Yo, you can count on me, girl.
I'll be there.
-Really? -Yeah, all kitted up
in my traditional drip.
-You know the drill. [laughs] -Hmm. [laughs]
-[Bongi] Actually, Zakes, -[Zakhele laughs]
[in Zulu] I need you to do some work for me.
Hm?
[Zakhele in English] Alright, so what's the deal?
CEO, CFO, CIA?
COD.
[in English] Chairman of Driving.
[all laugh]
[Zakhele laughs anxiously]
-Phe-Phe is going to need a driver. -Uh, Ma,
‎I thought I could just Uber.
Yeah, and I don't really do the Uber thing, you know.
Five hundred a day.
[Sphe snorts]
-By the way, I was thinking -[Desmond clears throat]
maybe you could also write me some music.
-[Zakhele] Yeah? -Yeah, yeah.
-To market my business. -[Zakhele] Yo.
[laughs] Ma B, I would kill that shit! Dang, Ma B!
[in Zulu] You see? Ah then. It's settled.
-Really? -[Zakhele] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can see it, right?
The Zakes, Seeps, running the streets.
[both] Hmm.
Oh, that's a bar. I need to write that down.
-[exclaims] Fine. -[chuckles]
Okay then, Zakhele.
-[in Zulu] You'll start tomorrow. -[in English] Yo, that's sick.
Like a doctor.
That's another bar.
[girls chuckling]

[in Zulu] Wow, you have such a lovely face.
-Such smooth skin. -Aww.
Man, you would be perfect for my brand.
Here, take this, um…
-Have your friends call me. -Hm-hm.
"Mavis' Miracle Cream."
It's dirt.
It's not gonna work.
Miracle Mud, my sister.
Actually,
a photoshoot with that face would do your brand wonders.
-Hmm. -Cause you know
-I'm your biggest supporter. -Hm.
[in English] Supporter?
Yes, I'm your biggest supporter.
Sizwe.
-Darling, um, -Hm-mm?

[chuckles] That's when we got engaged, dawg.
Oh my days.

I'm ready.
-Yo, uh, which side are you headed, mama? -Durban North, why?
I mean,

-Ah-- -[Zakhele] I mean, I don't mind.
I don't… I don't… I don't--
-I don't think that's necessary. -That's a great idea! You--
I just don't wanna inconvenience you.
-You know what I mean? -Well, I mean, you're both leaving, so…
I mean, I really don't mind.
-You feel me? -Yeah. [clears throat]

Wow.
-Yeah. [laughs] -[chuckles]
So, um…
She's interesting.
Yeah. So is your fiancé.
Are you jealous?
It is a little weird though, you know?
Simultaneous blind dates.
Do you think they know about us?
-[in Zulu] No! -No.
-[in English] No, no, cause… -No.
No. If they knew we'd already be under lock and key.
-No, no, no. -Yeah.

-[congregation] Amen. -God also seeks that we love
-our neighbours. -[Mavis] Yes!
-No. -[Charlotte] You see,
as a reformed
fallen woman in Christ, um, I used to see God
-in the most lustful -[congregation affirms]
and salacious ways.
-[man 1] Gosh. -[man 2 exclaims]
-[Charlotte] Hours and hours of lustful -[woman 2 exclaims]
-[Grace] Hm. -[Charlotte] …pleasureful acts.
And as I stand before you today,
it is because I am made new,
-[in Zulu] brethren. -[congregation affirms]
So please turn to your Bibles
-and turn to Proverbs 16 verse 13. -[vibrating sounds]
I told you to leave that phone in the car. It's not--
-Is it not-- Is your phone ringing? -No.
-My phone is here. -they should hate evil
-and like honesty only. -Sit still.
-Ah! Ma. -[Charlotte] And any angry
-Ma. -Mmh
[vibrating sound continues]
-[Charlotte] Don't make one angry. -Oh my God.
-[Charlotte] When a ruler is happy -Mavis.
and pleased with you it's like a refreshing rain and you will live.
[Grace] Mavis.
-[in Zulu] Where did you find that? -[Charlotte] But as I stand before
-In the kitchen, like you said. -you today, it is because I have prayed
-to God to heal me. -Is it yours?
-[Charlotte] And entirely erase, -[congregation exclaims]
-to remove that lustful spirit -[Grace pants]
-from inside of me, brethren. -[woman 1] Hallelujah!
[Charlotte] To dim the passionate
-But it really works! I'll tell you that. -and vileful spirit I have inside of me
-that I do not need anymore! I rebuke it! -Shh! Stop judging me and read your Bible.
-[Grace] Stop judging me. -[Charlotte] Yes! Amen, brethren.
[dramatic music plays]
Mom, I'm just going for a quick dr--
-[Sizwe] Drive, hey. -Hi.
Oh, no, no, no. Um,
remember you promised Charlotte to help her with her photoshoot.
-I did? -[clears throat]
It's for Gran's business.
-Please. -We're all doing this for Gran.
-Maybe I can spare like an hour or two. -Oh, fantastic!
-Wonderful. -[squeals]
-Let me just, um… -Yes, um…
[in Zulu] So, did you speak to the council?
[in Zulu] Oh, I'll add it to my very long list.

Look, uh, holler at me if you need a lift back home.
-Otherwise, uh, I'mma dip. -Okay.
Alright, bet.
Actually, Zakes.
-Yeah. -My plans just fell through,
so maybe you could show me your stu.

[laughs]
Alright, bet. Plus I got that new tune for your mom.
Let's go.
[sighs]

So, I had a question.
Um…
KwaMashu. How come we don't visit?
But we've had this conversation before.
But Ma, you… you grew up there, right?
I was orphaned there.
My parents got killed there.
Um…
It must've been hard for you.
I can't even bring myself to go to your grandparents' grave.
[sighs]
[Grace sniffs]
[upbeat music plays]
[Bongi in Zulu] You think you've hit the jackpot with me?
[in English] Of course I'm not paying 10000 rand for chairs.
Are you crazy? [scoffs]
[in Zulu] We'll talk.
-Mrs Dunga, how much is this bag of taro? -[Mrs Dunga] Fifty rand.
Fifty?! You are so costly!
No, no, no.
[in English] Is that--
-Is that-- -[cars hooting]
-[man in Zulu] Hey, sir. -Okay, call Satan.
-[laughs sarcastically] -[in Zulu] How much is this, my brother?
[in Zulu] Well, that's 500 rand.
Five hundred?
-Five hundred. -Goodness.
-Okay, I'll take it. -[in Zulu] Five hundred, right?
-[in English] Hey. -[in English] Hey.
How did you find me?
Uh, we shared each other's location when we first got together, remember?
Because we said we didn't want any secrets between us.
Yeah.
-Has that changed? -Has that--No.
Not for me.
Okay, good, cause me neither.
Can we um… Can we walk?
[Vusi in Zulu] Listen, bro.
-Des, isn't that… -[Desmond exclaims]
[Desmond in Zulu] My friend.
We saw nothing. We know nothing, we say nothing.
You know what?
I don't even know what we were talking about.
-Exactly. -[both laughing]
[Grace] Are you sure you saw my son here?
Well, I think so. I mean, he does have a common face.
-Shame. -So you brought me here for "I think so"?
It was definitely him, Gracious, okay?
-I can't miss that bland face anywhere. -This breaks my heart
because he spent the day with Charlotte.
They are just so beautiful.
-And she's churchgoing, respectable-- -Kind of a whore.
Well, not like your hooligan who listens to ungodly music, okay?
-Listen, our plan was working. -[scoffs]
-All we need is one last blow. -Shh, I'm two steps ahead of you.
Trust me.
Well, maybe you need to get one step behind me
because um, is that not your mother-in-law I see there?
-Where? -There.
[dramatic music plays]
Oh, she can't see me here! Oh gosh! Hide me.
Hide me. Hide me!
[grunts]
-Oh, no, no, no! No, no, no! -Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-There! -No, no, no!
I'm trying to help you.
Help me?
‎[Grace groans]
Oh, there's meat in here!
I really don't enjoying doing this,
-but-- -You do! You do! [yelps] No!
[in Zulu] Goodness!
Oh, Mrs. Mavis. [chuckles]
Tell me, aren't you that friend that Grace hates?
[Bongi] Guilty as charged.
[Mavis] Well, let me tell you something.
-Any enemy of hers is a friend of mine. -Hm.
Oh, Mrs Mavis! She can't be that bad.
-[Mavis] Oh, you don't know her. -Why don't you get her something
nice like taro or cow's head?
What? Cow's head?
-[chuckles] That white person? [laughs] -[laughs]
[Mavis] Since that the meat truck is here, let me just grab a cow's head.
Oh, no, no, no. [splutters]
-This is not the best meat, Ma. -But I know this man.
He sells really good meat.
-Okay, okay, then let me get it for you. -Alright. Thank you, my child.
[Grace] Get rid of Mavis, Bongi.
[flies buzzing]
[in Zulu] Cow's head.
-Huh? -She wants a cow's head.
-You're looking so gorgeous. -[in English] Yes, Ma.
You have a good character.
-[in Zulu] Goodness, bring it. -[Mavis] You're respectful and hospitable.
-Yes, Ma. -You're not like your friend.
-[in English] Yes, Ma! Thank you, Ma. -[Mavis] Yes, nothing at all.
-Shh! It's coming. -[Mavis] I like you.
-[whines] -[in Zulu] Give me that plastic!
-Are you cooking that cow's head? -[Grace] Yeah, Bongiwe, give me a second.
-[Grace whines] -Gracious!
Shh!
-It's heavy! [grunts] -[flies buzzing]
[whines] Help me.
[Mavis] These taxis are going to leave me.
[in English] Okay!
-Oh, oh, oh. -Oh!
-[in Zulu] Here you go. Okay, Ma. -Thank you! I like you so much.
-[Mavis] Thank you, my child. -[in Zulu] Alright.
-Okay then! Alright. -Yes, Ma.
-But you know what? -[truck engine starts]
-I also want cow's head. -Alright.
-Okay, thank you. -I'll pay it for you.
-[in English] Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! -[dramatic music plays]
Wait! Hey!
Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait, wait, wait!
-I'm sorry-- Grace! -Hey!
I'm gonna sue you! I swear I'm gonna sue you!
-Litigation! I'm gonna sue you! -[driver] Goodness.
I'm done with this.
Shut up, Gracious.
I can't believe you put me in that car!
-[Grace] You did this on purpose! -[exclaims]
-Grace. -[Grace] Where is he?
What do you mean Grace?
-Oh, you mean grace, hmm? -Grace.
-[in Zulu] There she is. -No, man! Who--
-I was assaulted! I didn't even see Sizwe. -Here she comes! Here she comes.
I don't even know where Sizwe is.
-[Grace] What am I doing here? -[Bongi] We have work
-to do! Come! -[in English] Follow me.
[Grace] Don't leave me here!
Where are we going, babe? [chuckles]
[chuckles] My mother's childhood home.
Right here.
-Really? -Yeah.
So KwaMashu is basically just a painful reminder for her.
But it is a part of her.
And it's a part of you.
[sighs] Cause…
lately it kind of feels like we've been…
drifting.
Like…
Like I'm not enough for you.
Why would you even think that?
Because babe, [scoffs] there are things that I can't give you.
Things someone like Charlotte can.
I do not want Charlotte, okay? I want you.
Good.
Because I want you.
-[street chatter] -[dog barking]
So, like, is there any chance you can go traditional for my mems?
-Please? -Babe, not a chance.
-It's just not me. [snickers] -[whines]
No.
[sighs]
Fine, fine, my oreo.
-Fine. -[chuckles]
[Mavis in Zulu] Yes, yes, yes!
-I love it. -[Grace] Give it more, um…
-[Mavis] Yes I love it! I love it. -I'm thinking Diana Ross in the Supremes.
-Okay. -Hold off on Diana.
[Mavis] Do a Mzansi pose, my child.
-Do you know Mabrrr? -Oh!
-Do a Mabrrr pose! Brenda Fassie! Brrr. -Brrr.
Okay, imagine God
or angels bringing you something beautiful.
-Stretch out your hands -Uh-huh.
-and receive it. -[Grace] No, think about touching the sky,
-as if you're just touching finesse. -You won't reach the sky.
She won't reach the sky.
Imagine a woman who owes you
a lot of money.
-[Grace] No, I'm thinking -[Charlotte groans]
-give it more graceful -Look at her like a lion.
-walkway. -Look at her like you will bite her.
-Like you're going to say "Haaa!" -Like walkway.
-[Mavis] Like you're going to bite her. -[Grace] Walk.
-[Grace] No, no. Not anger, not anger. -[Mavis] Yes, hold it like that.
[in English] So like, do I get an outfit change?
You can get whatever you want, my baby.
Thank you, Mommy.
Thank you for doing this for me.
Yeah.
You know,
whatever matters to you, matters to me.
-Aww. [chuckles] -So any day, all day.
-All day, errday. [laughs] -Every day. [laughs]
-Love you. [sighs] -Love you too, baby.
[in Zulu] Like you're flying.
-Yes, there you go. -[camera shuttering]
-I like that one too. -[Sizwe in Zulu] How are you?
-[Grace] Look who's here! Hi! -[Sizwe] Yes.
-[Sizwe in English] Hi. -Hi!
Hi. Hi, hi.
So, um, we're gonna get him in wardrobe,
-right? -Right! Right.
-Wardrobe? -Right.
-Mm-hm. -I'm confused.
So Zakes Wabantu is asking if we can play his rap song
-as my entrance song. -[snickers]
-[Charlotte] No, don't worry about me. -Sizwe, get comfortable, my boy.
-Strong, masculine! Yes. -[in Zulu] Dig in, dig in.
-[Mavis] Rub it in nicely. -[Grace] Yes. Okay.
Start from the bottom
-and go up with it. -Alright, and then Siz, can you just take
-her thigh and put it on your waist? -No, man! Why is her thigh in this?
-[Grace] It's for the shoot. -Uh, okay.
-Come on! -Okay. Okay.
-[Sizwe] Like this? -Yes, just look into her eyes.
-[Grace in Zulu] You'll see, Mavis. -Yes?
-Sure. -[Grace] Yes, Charlotte,
-I need you to look into his eyes. -Okay.
-[in Zulu] Go all the way up -Siz in her-- Yes.
-with it. -[Sizwe] Okay.
-No man, why are they looking -Okay.
into each other's eyes when we still need them to apply the chilli one.
-Okay. -[phone chimes]
-One sec. -And then? No, Phe-phe.
-[in Zulu] We're still busy. -One second, Mama, come on.
[somber music plays]
Phe-phe, what's wrong?
[sad music plays]
[Charlotte] I'll even go for some.
Do you need any more?
-I think we are good! I think we're good. -You sure?
-[Grace] Oh. -Okay.
[camera shuttering]
-[photographer] And that's a wrap. -[Sizwe] Cool.
[Charlotte in Zulu] Are we done?
[sad music continues]
‎[weeps]
Hey.
-[tuts] Look at you. -[inhales]
[sighs deeply]
You look like…
[snickers] Like a child playing dress-up?
No, Phe-phe.
You look like a young woman
on the cusp of holding everything she's ever wanted.
Not everything, Mama.
‎[sniffs]
It seems like a boy broke your heart, baby.
He did.
[pants] He really did.
I think you should just end it.
Just shut that door, baby.
Walk away.
Walk away with your dignity.
You deserve better.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
[phone chimes]
‎[phone vibrates]
[upbeat music plays]
Stop running, Sizwe.
Uh, keys. please.
-I'd like us to go shopping, please. -I don't have time, Ma. Ah,
-please. -Why?
Because you are parked behind me
and I don't have time to reverse
-and then yours-- -Why the urgency?
Fine! Do you wanna know?
-Yes. -The girl next door…
-Uh-huh? -I love her with everything in me,
and for some reason I can't find the words to tell her exactly what I just told you,
and now she hates me for some reason.
She hates everything about me, and I need to go
and find out why now.
So, keys, please.
‎[music playing]
Thank you.
‎[phone chimes]
Shucks!
Okay.
Um…
-[phone ringing] -[Desmond] Love, what's up?
[in Zulu] My love, listen.
I need you at Phe-phe's rehearsal.
Okay.
-Des, aren't you my ride, brother? -[singer] We'll celebrate with Sphesile
♪ We'll celebrate her purity We'll celebrate ♪
♪ We'll celebrate with Sphesihle ♪
♪ We'll celebrate her purity We'll celebrate ♪
[in Zulu] Thank you, my children.
What's going to happen now is
-we're going to talk about the importance… -[in Zulu] Maybe you can talk
about common decency
because one of your ladies here
-[in English] seems to be lacking it. Hey! -Dawg!
[Zakhele] What are you doing here? Men are not allowed here.
Really, Sizwe?
[woman] And who is this now?
[in Zulu] Someone with no respect, Ma.
You know what they say, right?
You can take the girl out of
-the hood, but-- -[in English] Oh?! Okay.
So now we see what you really think of me then.
-[Sizwe] Why don't you just admit it? -[Sphe] Admit what?!
That I'm not cultured enough for you.
-That I'm not traditional enough for you. -Well, would you even handle it if I did?
Try me.
Just admit it, Sphe.
What's it to you anyways?
Because not only did you cheat on me,
you sent me the evidence.
-Like who does that, Sizwe?! -Grace,
-What? -do something.
Nice picture, by the way.
-I didn't send that. It's not-- -[Desmond in Zulu] Let me see.
I mean, it's me, but I didn't send that.
-No, I-- -[Vusi] No, easy, Des.
Okay, um… [blows a raspberry]
I did it.
I set up the photoshoot
and I sent her the picture using your phone.
Look, when Bongi and I
-planned this whole thing, we-- -[Desmond] Wait, wait.
You are also involved in this?
[Bongi] I didn't want it to go this far,
[Grace] Hm.
[Bongi] Besides,
Grace, I said we should stop this.
[in Zulu] Excuse me?
I did.
[laughs dryly]
[in English] So…
[sighs] you're betraying me again?
[in Zulu] Betraying you again?
[in Zulu] We were supposed to leave KwaMashu and go to
[in English] Joburg together.
I waited for you at the train station… for hours.
With my bags packed.
Waiting for my best friend to arrive
because she had become my family.
I had nothing else.
I had no one else, but her. [sighs]
And she never came.
Yeah, but you cut me off, Grace.
-You didn't give me a chance to explain. -How? That you're selfish?
-Self-centered? -You treated me like crap,
-Grace. -You see how you are?
Can you see how they are?
It's good that you're leaving this girl.
She's exactly like her mother. And they're just--
-They're not good. -[Desmond] Hey, no, no, no.
-No, don't talk! Don't you dare talk -[Grace in Zulu] Oh, she didn't
-about my family like this. -tell you?
-Back off, Des. -You didn't tell him?
No, no! Talk to your wife.
[Vusi] Let's go.
[Sphe] Sizwe, please wait. [sniffles]
[exhales] We can fix this.
[Sizwe] You know what the problem is, Sphe?
You never trusted me.
And you attacked my identity. Who I am.
I know, but it was them.
It wasn't us. You know I would never hurt you.
I just think that maybe you're right.
What do you mean?
Maybe we're just too different.
You don't mean that.
Sphe, the message that you sent were your words.
-[Sphe sobs] -Not your mom's, yours.
I know.
I know, and I'm sorry. [sobs]
Yeah.
Please? [sniffles]
So am I.
Sizwe!
‎[sniffs]
[melancholic music playing]
‎[music continues playing]
[melancholic music playing]
[Bongi sighs]
You know, when you were born, Phe-phe…
[sighs]
my entire world shifted.
[sobs]
You brought so much joy and happiness into our lives.
You know, Sizwe, 20 years ago…
I was exactly where you are.
[scoffs]
Bongi's betrayal broke me.
[somber music plays]
But I messed up.
[crickets chirping]
I robbed you of your happiness, and…
‎[sniffs]
[sighs]
[exhales]
now I'm so lost.
Don't let this be your life.
You can still change all of this.
[sighs] Just tell me, I'll do it.
Come here, Mommy.
[sniffles]
[cries]
I'm here, okay? [sobs]
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
[Grace humming]
Hey.
[in Zulu] I wanted you to have this.
[Grace in Zulu] It's a picture of my mother and father.
[in English] That's nice.
[in English] No, Grace.
-[in Zulu] It's for you. -[Mavis] That woman is made of stone.
[in Zulu] A stone!
[in English] Ma, enough.
-[in Zulu] It's enough! -She just says what she wants
-and she even doesn't think. -Um, Bongi, I don't think…
[Bongi in English] She needs to hear this.
Cause you see, I know you…
better than anyone.
And I know you pretend like you don't need anyone,
because you don't know how to ask for help.
But that's because all your life you've had to fend for yourself.
‎[sniffs]
And I wasn't there for you.
And it's just hard.
It's really hard. [cries]
It's so hard to know that the closest thing
you have to a mother is so cruel to you.
-Look, I didn't-- -[Bongi] No, Ma. Please.
[in Zulu] Please give my friend and I some space.
[sighs]
Bongs.
[sniffles, in English] Okay, wait, wait, wait! Grace.
Gracious!
-Yes. -[chuckles]
-[in Zulu] You'll strangle me. -Can you just for two minutes
allow me to love you?
-Hmm? -[sniffles]
[in English] What will happen after the two minutes?
[sniffles]
-I will remind you how dope you are. -[auspicious music plays]
[chuckles] Yeah.
[both singing] ♪ Cause you're my dawg ♪
♪ You're my dawg You're my dawg, you're my dawg ♪

[Bongi] Mmm so, what
are we gonna do about the kids?
[chuckling]
[in Zulu] What are you doing?
Lu, what are you doing?
[in English] Mom has a surprise for you.
Yes, yes, I said Mom.
There… Somewhere there.
-[in English] Okay. -Go have fun.
Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
Okay.
[shaky exhale]
[charming music plays]
Hey.
[hesitates] You look…
-[chuckles] Um, Sizwe, I just-- -[chuckles] Yeah, I just wanted to--
You go first.
Okay.
I miss you.
Literally nothing feels right without you, Sizwe.
Same here.
Oh, you go.
I am…
completely and utterly in love with you, Sphe.
Love?
-Love. -[both chuckles]
Since the very first moment that our paths crossed.
I love you, Sphe.
I love you too, Sizwe.
