It's no longer your problem. You've done your part.
You're choking me.
I don't like being sober.
Drink water.
Goodness.
I can't believe that an upstanding woman like Gogo Twala
would cheat on her husband.
Not that I'm judging. I'll leave that to God.
What's wrong with you?
Sister…
just because you're old,
doesn't mean you don't want to be touched.
Grace, what's got into you?
Can this family carry itself with dignity for once?
Ah! Family? You have such little faith in us.
And faith is our shield.
♪ Faith is our shield ♪
Grace, let's go.
My faith is reserved for the Lord, not you. He never disappoints.
The Lord can drive you to Durban next time.
-Is that not Khaya? -Khaya.
Wow, they're so beautiful. Thank you.
Bring them.
-There's a car coming. -
-Oh! -Khaya, you're matching with the car.
- No, man. -
A lot of people could learn a thing or two from you.
Tumi left with Gogo Twala's husband.
-They're going to burn her. - They'll burn Tumi?
What's wrong with you, Grace?
It's the Durban weather.
It's humid.
Go check that the car is offloaded and get Grace back to normal.
Ma, what's going on?
Okay, that's fine.
Careful. There's a car coming.
- Where are they? -What?
Oh, she loved Gogo so much.
Do you get me, bro?
Friend!
Those Twala boys will know me by tomorrow.
That's true.
So you'll help me?
- You can't-- -Okay, okay, okay.
-Esther, baby! - That's it.
That's it.
Hold up! This is the one, Mavrrr.
We're taking this one.
Last year, you booked out a whole hotel for a wedding that didn't even happen.
But our mother deserves this.
Yes, white doves!
No. When I said "we," my boss,
I meant him, you see?
Listen here.
When did you take my wallet?
No, Grace.
Don't finish the alcohol.
Those scones are here somewhere. We must find them.
Hello.
Grace, I want to drink alcohol with the Zulu men.
No. Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Shadrack, let's look.
-Are those scones not strong? -They're strong.
Am I a lightweight? Did they kick my ass?
They kicked your ass.
Exactly, so if anything happens, you and I…
-Me? -Yes.
Dineo's right.
You need the Lord Jesus.
Not just Jesus, the Lord Jesus.
If you want to eat,
you should ask a worthy woman to dish it up for you.
Sorry, sister.
No. Don't call me sister.
Pru, we're looking for a bucket of scones.
We don't know where to look.
Don't worry. I put all the scones in the back room.
Can you please give us the keys? For the scones.
And you are?
Shadrack. Like in the Bible.
-This is my sister, Grace. -Grace.
We are the Sellos.
- Sello? -Yes.
As in Beauty's family?
- Yes. -Yes.
Your daughter didn't invite me to her wedding.
The other daughter killed my sister.
-No. -Shut up!
Then she brought her lover here. Do you see what I mean?
Do you disagree?
No, sister, your sister…
Speak in English.
- Who is Tumi? Who is Tumi? -Who is Tumi? Yeah.
So can we please get the keys for the scones?
The scones are for guests.
Since you are family,
you can help wash those dishes.
Leave me alone.
You need to help me get the keys from Prudence.
How? She hates us.
She doesn't hate you. I saw her eyeing you.
Woo her in.
That woman is too old.
She's your age.
I don't want to date anybody born before June 16.
Please, Shadrack.
Dineo is going to kill us.
-Dineo? -Yes.
Dineo. No, no, no. Don't panic. Don't panic.
I'll help you.
But tomorrow, I'm drinking alcohol
with the men.
-The Zulu men. -Hmm.
Are you high on pussy or high on weed? You think this is your house.
Get her out of here. She's turning off my customers.
Do we have a problem?
- No, there's no problem, man. - No, he's the problem.
- Take him! - No problem.
I think we need to get off the stage.
It's not time to rest, Minister.
Where have you been?
I was making sure our mother's farewell is a top-class affair.
What is this?
Where did you get so much money from?
You know I'm not scared of being a snitch.
You know what? Take this and buy your manhood back.
I don't want it.
Uncle.
It's nothing. Your uncle and I are just talking.
Oh! He doesn't know.
Listen, Siya. Please--
Your father is broke.
What did he say?
He's trying to say that he's broke on level zero.
But chin up. Uncle Siya's got you.
Take this and buy Shaka something.
And this house?
Who lives here when they're in Johannesburg?
Ah. So it's empty the whole year?
My child…
Leave that alone.
- I'm fixing the flowers. -Stop it.
Am I still high or what?
He says "nice."
It will be nice when I see the bride price you still owe my family.
You dog.
She was heavily pregnant, so we deducted for those damages.
Who you calling damaged?
Fantastic stuff!
It's the pain.
I'll be fine.
…at least I always have money.
So I can take care of Granny and Grandpa, right?
…for me and Sibusiso.
As the big brother, I feel that I need to take care of them.
…and choose your family over us.
Okay, but you're making noise. The baby is going to cry now.
- He can't even hear us. -He can sense your energy.
I'm just saying.
Look, I can't just turn my back on them.
You know what? I'm going to get a towel.
We have plenty of towels, Themba. There's no need.
This is Shaka. He uses a special towel. Isn't that right, my boy?
What are you doing?
I was hoping to find the minister's secret whiskey stash.
Beauty asked me to be here.
Wow!
That's a first.
You know what?
The other day at the barbecue, you stole my heart.
You're clearly still very good with your tongue.
But you know that's what you loved about me.
Why… Why aren't you sleeping?
I'm on my way to make--
- You still remember? - Oh, how can I forget?
I know you only have Rooibos late at night when you can't sleep.
Especially, if Tumi has shown you flames.
Oh my!
That girl always does whatever she wants,
never thinking of the consequences.
I also remember what used to calm your nerves
when you were stressed.
Don't be silly. There's no music.
Since when have we ever needed music?
Wow!
Who are you calling old?
What?
This isn't a game.
and Tumi…
is Tumi.
You can't grow old all alone
when I'm still here. No.
Are you trying to tell me that the other day you didn't feel anything?
Are you not feeling anything right now?
You.
Hide.
Sister.
My goodness.
You told us to be ready by seven so we can go help prepare in the kitchen.
-Is it seven already? -No, it's before six.
I thought we could get there before they eat my sco---
Breakfast. So we can help with preparing breakfast.
Grace, since when do you wake up so early?
Since when do you wake up so late?
Are you sick?
I choked on my saliva.
Please give me a minute. I'll be right with you.
Are you sure you're okay?
I'm fine. Please get me water.
Oh boy!
I remember sneaking around your mother's house as kids.
This is never happening again.
You are nothing but a demon of lust.
Why are you shoving me?
Go, brother. Go.
I'd like to ask, what are you doing later?
You're asking the obvious. I'll be sitting by my sister's coffin.
What are you doing? No, man.
So, I was saying that maybe later on…
…we could go out for some drinks.
Right here in KZN, not far away.
I don't drink the devil's urine.
Alcohol is the devil's urine.
You're right.
That's why I barely drink. Me? No. Alcohol? No.
You know, on Christmas, I might have just one beer,
whiskey,
a little bit of brandy,
a little bit of Moët,
sweet red wine.
Valencia is right about your family.
Valencia? What did Valencia say?
-Brother. -Huh?
Why are you listing things?
"Whiskey, brandy," listing them one by one.
That is why women don't want you.
They can't compete with your love for the bottle.
You're swearing at me.
It's over.
It's over and done. I'm done helping. Forget about those scones.
I'm going to do what I should've been doing
since I got here.
Which is?
I'm going to drink alcohol
with the Zulu men.
Brother. Brother.
She's still your granny.
Are you going to stare at me, or are you going to help me? Huh?
Hey. Hey, you.
I don't need your tears here.
Save them for the burial site. Are we clear?
You…
what's her problem?
Listen here, in life you must look forward and never back. Are we clear?
We all lose people we love,
but that doesn't mean that life must stop.
Life goes on.
But Ma, how do I carry on when my whole body's just betrayed me?
What is this? Huh?
Is this Esther?
It's just a body.
The most important thing here is her soul.
That's what's important. Are we clear?
Life is short,
but it doesn't mean it's not worth living.
You're dangerous.
Hey, MaVrrr, why don't I know any of these hymns?
Because…
You know, these churches must go back to the real stuff,
not this juice nonsense. People love alcohol.
They'll start going back to church.
How? I've already written it. Here.
Give it to me, and I'll make it better.
Sit in the pews with the rest of the people?
No, you can stand at the door and hand out programs.
But what I'm going to do is bury my mother with honor.
Gentlemen, I hope I'm not interrupting.
Of course not, Pastor.
You're not interrupting,
but you're a bit early for our mother's service.
I know, son.
I only came to tell you personally, out of respect for your mother.
The church can no longer preside over Sister Esther's funeral.
Oh no, why?
The tithings, along with a large cash donation,
has been stolen from the church.
The police are investigating, and we're taking inventory.
Really?
What do the police know?
Pastor, there must be something you can do.
I'm very sorry, but that's when the detectives are coming.
But my mother…
We will continue to pray for her soul,
but what is a church without its tithings?
I am sorry for your loss, but there's nothing we can do.
I leave you with his mercy.
That pastor uses the money for himself.
Did you see his jacket?
His shoes, they're Italian, extremely expensive.
Besides, I did this for Ma.
No, you didn't do it for her.
What about you?
A corrupt politician who steals people's money. Huh?
At least the money is going to bury our mother the right way.
If you don't like it, don't come to the funeral.
I'm the breadwinner now.
And since Ma is gone, I don't have to see you ever again.
You're back so soon.
Yes, we're back.
We were enjoying ourselves.
I missed my baby.
Hello, my baby. Hello.
Of course. I bought this for him.
Just wait for tomorrow to see his outfit for Gogo's funeral.
Isn't that so, my boy?
- Okay, baby. My boy. -We've got an image to uphold.
Yes, he's a baby, but he represents his family.
He's Shaka.
Can I talk to you in private?
You can talk in front of them. We are all family here.
Get out.
After all that I have done for you.
Clearly your own never taught you.
My dry breasts don't make me a bad mother, Valencia.
And a damn good daughter-in-law.
I have never disrespected you in front of people.
You know, if this is how you treat Twala wives…
- Mmm. Hello. - Hello.
Wow!
You're such eavesdroppers. Hmm.
I'm chopping.
How was it at the mortuary?
…Dad.
What's wrong with him?
How?
- That's very kind of you two. -Yeah. Shame.
You have no shame.
You call yourselves men, but you're two idiots
who can't even bury their own mother with dignity.
Auntie, the problem is not me. The problem is Siyabonga.
There must be another church we can use.
It's busy.
We can pitch a tent outside.
Are you crazy? We can't pitch a tent here.
We'll be the laughingstock of the community.
They'll think we're poor.
Listen, keep your mouth shut.
You're not a part of this family.
-Shut up. We can fix our own problems. -Auntie.
-I'm not part of this family? - Yes.
Hold on, Vusi.
You're just like your sister.
But it means nothing to you.
I'm trying to show you that I'm a good wife.
You're talking to me like that? Poverty's making you talk like this.
Point of order, please, Auntie.
We have no problem helping you
bury your sister under a tree at your house.
Where will you find a pastor?
I'll ask Dineo. She loves praying.
Where is Dineo?
She's not here.
Dad.
- - Let's go.
Let's go.
Shoes on the table? Whose house do you think this is?
especially with your condition.
Do you remember 1990?
Mmm. I thought you remembered everything.
You're stirring the pot.
I remember looking after two small babies
while having to go to the hospital every day for two weeks.
Because you drank yourself into a stupor
and had to have your kidney removed.
Now, imagine my surprise when I heard that you need a kidney-removal surgery,
when I know you already had one removed in 1990.
I'm doing this because I love Beauty.
Beauty, who you abandoned
but now are taking money from and lying to?
I love her so much! And you're my drug.
You see this? This is all the money I have left.
Please take it and leave for good.
Or stay and tell Beauty the truth.
You better leave, Edmund.
So you shouted at her?
She started it, and I finished it.
- Where is Tumi? - I haven't seen her all day.
She said she was coming to help with the funeral.
- - There goes your favorite.
I'm sure wherever she is, she's causing so much drama.
Angle it towards me.
No, towards me. It's my funeral.
What's wrong with you? This side.
Towards me!
Where is my mother?
