Sobabili will be journeying into cinemas across South Africa.
The story follows siblings Thulani and Zanele who are
travelling through life knowing that they have no-one but each other to lean
on. With Alexandra Township in South Africa serving as a vibrant backdrop, the
siblings escape one tragedy and build a life together where big brother Thulas
is over-protective of his younger sister. As we witness Zanele’s coming of age
story in a neighbourhood where there seems to be no escape, she starts making
decisions that put her in harm’s way.
As a result, the two share a very strained relationship and
Zanele is driven into the arms of an older man, as her way to rebel and escape
what she thinks is a bleak future. Determined to put an end to this
relationship, Thulas is overcome by rage and events lead him to make a decision
that can only end in tragedy.
