Synopsis

Hillbrow, the former trendy cultural pole of Johannesburg, became a (popular) hyperdense rather violent district. From narratives collected on the spot, the movie proposes a geographical crossing guided by fictitious characters whom embody local residents. In ten journies, Hillbrow draws a labyrinth of urban tensions.

Honeymoon, by Alkis Papastathopoulos

After a traumatising event involving the cops, Fay is leaving Greece for good. Sandra accompanies her to the bus station, taking this time as a chance to say goodbye. As they are travelling by bus across the country, a transphobic attack by two co-passengers leaves them stranded on a highway in the middle of nowhere.
