  • ""The film follows the intertwined fortunes of former exile Dr Curtis Tshabalala, who returns to his motherland when Nelson Mandela is elected president. Tshabalala wants to introduce his American wife Coral to his family, living in Soweto, plant a tree where he grew up and build a green-house. Adriaan Fluit and his fiancée, Thandeka, are on the same flight returning home after studying abroad. Deeply in love, they fear his family might not accept her because she is black. Through mutual respect and understanding, however, both families acknowledge that all South Africans have the same dreams and aspirations."--Container."

  • "Dr. Curtis Tshabalala, a South African expatriate living in Beverly Hills with his American wife Cora returns to his Soweto homeland with hopes of planting trees and dreams of a utopian South Africa. Cora's delicate sensibilities are offended when she sees the shanty town Curtis calls home and the goat sacrifice ceremony that welcomes them. A comdey of manners and errors ensues as the doctor attempts to beautify his homeland: Old attitudes and prejudices still prevail and cross-cultural communication faulters in a nation in the throes of an identity crisis."
