Free-spirited Amina has broken all
the rules of her own conventional Indian
community in South Africa by running a café, a

that she may have choices in life. When
Miriam meets Amina, their unexpected
attraction throws them both off balance.

Made by the same people who made "I Can't Think Straight." ??
