It’s the summer school holidays in 1990 South Africa, and 11-year-old Boipelo returns to her grandmother Koko’s house in Atteridgeville, Pretoria. The country is on the brink of democracy, and Boipelo is about to attend a multiracial school, adding to her uncertainty. This holiday is different, marked by her grandfather’s violent coughing and ominous adult conversations. Amidst the usual chores and clashes with her cousins, Boipelo is troubled by her inability to remember her dreams, crucial for her granny’s local lottery, Fahfee. Determined to bring a smile to her grandmother’s face, she devises a plan to dream again and feel a sense of belonging before her life changes forever.
