op die hoek van die sesde straat

“Dis daardie aand wat ons op haar afgekom het, magteloos in die lug, soos ‘n motvervrete laken wat oor ‘n wasgoeddraad gehang is.”

On the outskirts of Cape Town, between two flats, a washing line hangs filled with clothes, bedding and other odds and ends. It is here where multiple characters’ lives unfold and intertwine amongst one another. The joy found within the simplicity of living, as well as the negotiation of poverty is explored through the eyes of two young people. Questions around how we are raised, our positionality in life and the path that lies ahead of us is explored through the pieces of tattered clothing, until nothing remains.
