Description:
In a white neighborhood of Johannesburg, South Africa, during the 1960s, 13-year-old Molly Roth struggles to understand the escalating turmoil around her. Her father vanishes after a close call with the police, followed by her mother's arrest. As her community fractures, some of Molly’s friends turn away. Her family’s bonds with Black neighbors are tested as apartheid tightens its grip. Caught in this precarious world, Molly must navigate a rapidly changing reality.
