Johannesburg, 1968. Khuthala despises his father’s laundry business, located in a neighbourhood reserved for White residents, and refuses to take over the family enterprise. As the violent apartheid regime begins to target businesses owned by Black people, he is torn between pursuing his dream of a career in music and standing up to the injustice threatening the laundry, the family’s sole source of income and the bond that holds them together.
