When Cape Town encounters an extreme stretch without water, things get desperate. Perhaps it's a little boy who returns us to our humanity.

This film is shot on location in the township of Fisantekraal just outside of Cape Town, South Africa. It was created within 48 hours as part of the 48 Hour Film Project Cape Town, where it won best student film. The students who created the film attend Film School Africa, a training institution which seeks to equip students through scholarships, from impoverished backgrounds and previously disadvantaged communities to give a hope and a future through film making.
