Overview

Lisa, an artist deeply moved by the housing crisis in her city, is desperate to make meaningful art while also under the pressure to make a living. Using visual art as her medium, she documents abandoned buildings and people displaced by policy and profit. But when heartbreak dismantles the emotional scaffolding she built around love, she is forced inward, confronting the hollow spaces she has long avoided. Khanya was groomed to inherit his family's empire, a life carefully mapped out by a father invested in power and preservation. All Khanya knows about being a man is that he must protect his family's legacy. But as the fractures in Johannesburg widen, and as land, housing, and dignity become battlegrounds, Lisa forces him to confront how deeply implicated he is in a system he has never questioned. Together, Lisa and Khanya are pulled into the complexities of identity and purpose, all while navigating the intricate, uncertain path of falling in love.
