My goodness!
I can't believe you left me here to fend for myself.
The kids weren't lying when they were talking about toxic masculinity.
Look at my nails. One of them is even broken. I'll have to see a psychiatrist.
Brother, don't go in there, don't go in there. Brother, don't--
Don't go in there, they are still negotiating.
No ways.
What is the meaning of this?
-Doreen-- -Old man.
Did we come here to play hide and seek?
-Where is Zoleka? -Dad, why?
Why do you lie so much, Dad?
What are you talking about?
Is Mom alive, Dad?
-What? -Wow.
What are you saying Martin?
-He lied about Mama being dead. -Goodness.
No, the rural areas should have a trigger warning.
Bro!
So?
Is it true, Dad?
Who did you hear that from?
Someone at the cemetery claims that Mama's grave belongs to someone else
and that Mama is in Port St. Johns.
-Where's Port St. Johns? -Port St. Johns is that side.
You want to tell me you met some random person at the cemetery who told you that,
and you believed them?
Tell the truth, Dad.
Is Mom alive or not?
Well…
We're facing many problems in this house.
The first issue is…
our bride is missing!
I want us to talk, but I can't get a hold of you.
I wonder what's going on.
Of course, you followed me.
What else was I supposed to do, Kagiso? I was only trying to fix things.
I'm Zoleka, I know how to fix this.
-I was trying to help, Kagiso! -Gosh!
I told you to trust me.
Let me explain.
Please, just stop.
Kagiso, where are you even going?
So I contacted The Capitalist's producer, and they told me you won,
but I knew you wouldn't get the money in time.
Long before you sent that angel investor money, I sold it.
MaMbazo bought it for less than half its value.
What's wrong?
Katlego. Please speak to your parents.
Omphile, relax. I have more serious issues.
Omphile, my phone is missing again.
You're giving me a headache. It's fine. I'll talk to them.
Does she have social media?
My sister, I'm fine.
I mean, I have a man, hey? It's nice.
I'm even speaking Xhosa words, like "look," "here" and "you know." Hey?
I have a person and he is Luyolo.
-Luyolo? Ew, man! -Help me look for my phone.
You're a 2000. Don't you know that the cows can be kept in the family?
What?
Zoleka is missing again?
-My sister. -Nowhere to be found.
This family is full of drama galore.
Wow! Wow!
No, man. Now that I think about it. The Dzanas owe us.
They must pay us for letting Kagiso marry Zoleka.
There's no way. There's no way.
Khutso, you were right. I think we're definitely cursed.
One thing about Zoleka and Kagiso,
-they will always disappear. -Damn it.
Actually, I saw Zoleka driving out.
-You lie! -Why didn't you say anything?
I thought Zoleka's being Zoleka. As you know, she's dramatic.
Does that mean the negotiations are done?
Is Luyolo free?
Stop escaping and trying to avoid us.
Answer our questions, Dad.
-Here they come. -There are more important matters at hand.
Zoleka is missing and you are worried about rumors.
Hey, you Phatudis. Any updates on Zoleka?
She's probably gone to Kagiso at the lodge.
We have to look for these children and find them.
Let me get my bakkie.
Phatudis, you're coming with me.
Dad, Dad, no.
Dad, no. We're not done here.
You must listen to me.
There are dangerous things happening in the Eastern Cape
that you don't know about.
I'm going to find my granddaughter, I swear on my mother.
Dad, why can't you just tell us if Mom is alive or not?
-Dad. -Phatudis, follow me.
Dad, please answer us. Dad!
Do you know anyone who has a car that we can borrow?
-Yes. -Actually, I know somebody.
-Ouch. -Yeah, I know somebody.
I think I have an idea.
Luyolo will borrow you his bakkie, right?
I'm going to do what?
Yes, that's right.
You know, just in case Zoleka returns, then he should be here.
If Kagiso returns, I will also be here.
Right?
I'll stay behind.
-Yes. -Katlego is right.
-Phatudis, let's go. My goodness. -Yes.
-Next year, I'm not getting involved. -Yeah.
If you see me, strike me dead.
Let's go.
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait.
I'm a simple man.
Just tell me are you in or are you out?
But I'm telling you, I like you.
Are you in or…
Let's do this, man.
I always have to dig information out of you, in order for you to tell me things.
It hurt my feelings to find out from my makeup artist
that you entered The Capitalist.
I didn't tell you about that at first
because I wanted to get the deal and surprise you.
But once you found out what happened?
You got involved with the pitch and told me what to do and say.
I know I go overboard sometimes…
but I just wanna be part of your team.
Money is not important to me.
Okay, I love you and I love that we're talking,
but can we please get out of here?
No, it's bad.
It's really bad.
We searched all the rooms. Kagiso and Zoleka aren't there.
They didn't check in. Imagine!
One of the staff members said they saw them walking into the woods.
-Over there? Over there. -Over there.
I said let's go look for them.
Phatudis, follow us.
-Why does he keep saying that? -Let's go, let's go!
I'll wait here. I'm not walking in these heels.
I know, I know, but…
It will be okay.
Wait, Dad.
Yes, Dad, wait.
Dad.
Omphile, we have bigger issues at hand.
Kagiso and Zoleka are missing.
So that's all you can think about?
Omphile! My goodness!
Ever since you started talking to boys, you've become so rude.
Just keep quiet.
Earlier, you were disrespectful,
telling us we're terrible parents who don't listen.
-Yes. -Just imagine.
My data!
My goodness.
My wife, we're good parents, right?
All right, maybe we're not perfect, but we're trying, right?
Dad!
You see, that stunt of yours pretending to be a makoti under a blanket
on the sacred day of the lobola.
-Now look, it's brought us bad luck. -Answer him.
No.
Oh, wow!
I took it from the rooms while I was looking for Kagiso.
No way. You had drinks with Tyler Perry?
As soon as I find Kagiso and Zoleka, I'll give them 75 rand.
So they can go to Home Affairs and sign.
-Dad, wait, wait. -Dad. Wait, Dad.
Wait, Dad.
Just tell the truth, Dad. Where's Mom, Dad?
He probably pushed her away like he did to us.
Your mother didn't want you!
That's why she left. Are you happy now?
Are you satisfied?
Dad, you're a liar.
Goodness! Hello, everyone.
I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were looking for us.
Dad, for once in your life, can you just tell us the truth?
She didn't want to be a mother.
We cannot trust anything you say anymore.
-Just tell the truth, Dad. -You don't believe me?
I'm going home.
But the day you realize that you want the truth, call me.
I'll come.
You're going home? Dad?
Dad?
-Someone stop him. -Dad?
Dad?
-I'll-- -Auntie, come on!
If she is still alive? Why don't we go to see her then?
No. She won't like that.
Dad, you can't keep her from us.
Don't bother, Dad. We'll look for her ourselves.
If you knew the lengths I've gone to trying to protect the both of you…
Protect us? How, Dad?
Do you know the lifelong trauma
of a child raised without a mother?
My son, Langa, would've been raised by his grandmother.
She would have helped me get away from Mom's beatings.
Granny would've protected me.
If you think that's the case,
then let me show you how amazing your life would have been.
Let's go. Get in the car.
-All of you, come. -Should we follow him?
Let's stay.
-They said we should stay. -Okay, we're going?
Wait!
Wait for me. I'm limping.
-No, man. -Wow!
What's taking you so long? People are hungry.
And you know how your uncle gets when he's hungry.
He starts pitching storylines.
I'll fix him a plate.
You and Luyolo? Really?
Yes, we are.
-Seriously? -Yeah, seriously.
So, wait, you're trying to get back at Sicelo, right?
Stop it, Golide! Goodness!
Name-call all you want. I want to know what's up.
-I'm not telling you anything. -Talk!
-No, man. -But Luyolo though?
What's with you?
You celebrate him on social media with endless likes, views, millions of likes.
-Gosh! -Wait a minute.
Firstly, it's #RoadToAMillion.
Secondly, maybe you need to pause and relax
because these days you're angrier than usual and it doesn't suit you.
It's a movie!
Your uncle's not the only one who watches movies.
My goodness. Wow!
Wow, you have no shame.
I fear desperation.
Uncle, break it down for me.
What's the story with Zoleka's grandmother?
Just leave it alone, my boy.
I haven't seen a plot twist like this since Senzo and Jason.
No, unbelievable.
Wow!
Acting must run in the Dzana family, shame.
Give them a script so they can act.
Pretending that your wife is dead? I've seen enough from them.
Auntie, enough with the drama.
-Gosh! -What drama? What's wrong?
Here they are.
Hurry up.
Don't fall.
Precious keeps calling me.
I have no idea what to tell her.
Tell her we'll be there.
How, Kagiso?
It looks like this will take a while.
Zo, let's go.
Just a moment, Langa.
Now you're talking, my baby. Finally, you're making sense.
Go ahead with that. Go.
-Doreen! -No, we don't need her drama.
Hold on. Wait!
-Oh, my goodness. -I beg your pardon?
What did you say?
Zoleka, let's go! Zoleka!
Girl, are you telling me that you paid for your own lobola?
-You can leave! -Wait, just a moment!
Come on, man.
Kagiso,
did you really let Zoleka pay for her own lobola?
No, man. Come on.
Did you really let her pay for her own lobola?
It's Pontius Pilate, indeed.
You have defeated me. Truly unbelievable.
-Wow. -Oh, no.
What can we say?
Are we at the right place?
Perhaps this is where she hangs out with her friends.
-Rosalina. -Mzwamadoda, what is it now?
Here are your children.
Gosh! Didn't we talk about this a long time ago?
We've spoken about this? What's the matter now?
They don't believe me.
-Mom-- -Wait, wait.
Don't make noise.
People are watching.
Mom, Dad claims that you abandoned us.
He's not lying.
Here's the thing.
I never wanted children.
He's the one who wanted children.
Because I loved him, I gave him children.
So you just decided to abandon them?
Just look at them. They look great.
They're beautiful and look…
rich.
You get me?
Listen, before you leave,
please get me a six-pack as a Christmas gift.
Hey!
So that's all we're worth to you, Mom?
A six-pack? A sick-pack, Mom?
This is my jam!
You've seen for yourself, my children.
It's enough.
Listen, before you leave.
You see…
I want to live here among the dead.
Do not resurrect me.
You heard that I passed away, right?
Let's keep it that way.
What cruelty is this at your old age, Granny?
I shouldn't even call you Granny.
Thank goodness you're not in their lives. They're better off without you.
Wait. Aren't you Babalwa?
My goodness.
The way I see it, Granny…
you really lost out.
Your son is the best uncle any man could ask for.
The man I trust the most.
Then there's your daughter, my mother.
She is more of a mother than you could ever be.
You can't even dance.
And you are?
Wow!
Kagiso.
Did you really let Zoleka pay her own lobola?
That means she married herself.
Goodness! Uncle, I told you that I didn't use that money.
I'd already sold my car when I got the money.
How many times must I tell you that?
Goodness.
Why are we acting like watchmen, sitting around like this?
Let's just go to the hotel. It's morning.
I want to bath.
I didn't even pack extra clothes. We were meant to leave yesterday.
You can go then, I'll wait for Zoleka. Nobody's stopping you.
In fact, here they are.
Khutso. Khutso! Here they are.
My goodness.
You're still here?
It's our wedding day, babe.
Everyone can go home.
There's no wedding taking place today.
Wait, Mr. Dzana, wait a minute.
Respectfully, we are tired.
-We're tired. -Goodness!
Look, I know you're tired. I'm…
But what's important is how we all show up for each other.
As you can see, we're all here.
Now, I know that I've messed up, but I made a promise to Zoleka.
Kagiso is right.
Dad, I understand we've put you through a lot,
but as you can see, we're still here.
This proves that nothing is greater than love.
What I've learned about love is that not everything will go your way.
In the end, things will happen the way they're meant to.
We're here, now.
Just without a white wedding, with just the lobola.
-Are you sure? -I'm sure.
Wow! The children are right.
Nothing is more important than family.
This foundation we're trying to build,
relies on family.
My children,
I am sorry for lying to you.
But I never stopped caring about you.
I still care about you.
So what do you say?
Let us make this family bigger!
Let's do what the Dzanas do best!
Well spoken, Dad.
Your words are clear.
My child, I say…
The negotiations are back on. Let's go.
Thank you, Dad.
-My daughter-in-law. -Thank you, Mom.
Thank you, sir.
We have a bride!
-Gentlemen. -Greetings.
Greetings.
I'd like to speak to you.
-You're taking him away from us? -Yes.
That's right.
No, let's talk.
This seems serious.
Come on, you know I don't like games.
I'm serious.
It's just that this whole time, I've been Katlego Shozi.
Now I see that I need to find myself again.
It's a movie about…
Actually, no. Let's forget about it.
Listen, I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it, my love.
Once you've found yourself,
Ms. Phatudi,
you know where to find me.
Well, Dad…
I want to apologize for the way I behaved the past few days.
It's just that, all these years, I thought you were the villain.
Well, you are both parents now.
You'll always protect your children.
You might not always see eye to eye,
but you'll always want to protect them.
Dad, how come you just kept quiet
instead of telling us that things had gotten so bad at home?
You know me,
I'm a man of actions, not words.
No. That's not me. That's not the Dzana way.
Whether you choose to say something or not,
it makes a difference.
That's true.
There's that fancy English I paid for.
You're teaching me.
Such fancy English?
You could have sold me.
Imagine!
You know these Phaduke. Who are they again? Who?
-Phatudi. -Oh, the Phatudis.
Oh, how I love them.
I love them.
-That's how they are, Dad. -I've never seen so much drama
in the space of a week.
Not a drama, it's a soap opera.
What did you call them, Dad?
The Phakudes.
Phakude!
-Wow, Jay-Z and Beyoncé. -Stop it, you.
Respectfully, please give Omphile her phone back.
She won't stop calling me.
And Mme Meiki asked you to buy her data.
Okay, my child. We were going to take the phone and give it back to her
as soon as we get home.
We shouldn't have taken it.
-Okay, maybe we should call her. -Call her.
Right now.
-It's a video call. -What?
It's a video call!
When are you two coming back?
No ways. You owe me because you only paid me for one day.
Just one?
All right, we'll sponsor your data for the next month.
Thank you.
We'll give you your phone as soon as we get home.
I'm sorry we took it in the first place.
It was only two days, Omphi.
Om… Omphile, do you have a boyfriend?
Oh, wow.
Omphile, my child.
We'll love whoever you love.
Well, at least…
she's not falling pregnant anytime soon.
So we're not cursed after all, see?
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Wow.
We really brought this wedding together.
Wow.
Do you finally admit and accept
that I, Godfrey, am also a Phatudi?
You're a Phatudi,
when you need to be a Phatudi.
And when we need you to be a Phatudi, you're a Phatudi.
-You see, you-- -Wait a minute!
No, you!
One compliment and you want to be touchy-feely?
-Get lost. -You're family.
No. You're annoying.
What?
You're actually so hot.
You're also attractive.
You speak Xhosa? I thought you only spoke English.
Let's go chat some more.
You are versatile.
Tell me the bride you dreamed of because here I am
Tell me the bride you dreamed of
Because here I am
Tell me the bride you dreamed of
Because here I am
Tell me the bride you dreamed of
Dear mother-in-law, tell me the bride you dreamed of because here I am
What do you want?
Dear mother-in-law, tell me the bride you dreamed of because here I am
It's a wedding day, a wedding
