The movie was shot, written, directed and produced by Fanie Mathibela and promises great entertainment.
Fanie says the movie is a romantic movie about the betrayal between three friends.

Fanie who was born and raised in KwaThema has proven himself to be one of the most promising artists of the past few years.
He says he has always had a love for the stage and role playing.
“I knew when I was in high school that I wanted to pursue a career in the arts while my friends spoke about being doctors and nurses.
“I was a pansula dancer for Mishando (a traditional musician).
“In 2005, I started paving my way in the industry by working in the film industry as an extra for productions such as Catch a Fire (movie). I worked with Nothemba Sulupha (a casting co-ordinator), on Scandal, in Isidingo and also featured in an advertisement for King Pie.
“I later landed a supporting role in Sizwe Zuma’s Eskhaleni Sikantombela, Kwa Thema’s first feature film,” he says.
