This drama muses upon the brotherly love that develops between best friends and the devastating effects the intervention of reality can have upon heartfelt dreams. Kini and Adams live in a dull, dusty rural South African community and both are dreaming of leaving it behind to find fortune in the big city. To this end, they begin fixing up a battered old automobile. As hardscrabble farmers, neither has money and getting car-parts is a real challenge. That Kini is married to the domineering Aida and has a daughter also presents an obstacle. But the real break between the friends happens when a rock quarry opens and the fast-witted Kini is hired as a supervisor while Adams remains a regular grunt.~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
