It's summer, 1964, in Johannesburg, two young girls are thrown together. Jewish Frieda, secure in her family, accepts everything because that is how things are. Min brought up in the bush, withdrawn and traumatised after her brother's death, questions everything and finds herself in terrible trouble with the authorities. Told with warmth and humour, this is the story of their friendship and how through its strength they cope with the cruelties of their country's regime.
