Both families come together in the “new” South Africa to celebrate Margaret’s 80th birthday. Her unwavering strength and indomitable spirit are a beacon, illuminating the exploration of human resilience. This is an intimate behind-the-scenes exploration of a life lived against the backdrop of apartheid and touched by births, deaths, weddings, domestic violence, celebrations, and suicide.
