TAMBULA: A story of Africa

Three friends. An old VW bus. An adventurous trip to the Mozambique coast. What could possibly go wrong?

Looking for nothing but a good time, on reaching the port city of Lourenco Marques the boys meet the irresistible and charismatic Kristie.

When it appears she favours married Dek over Benny, sparks fly and old grievances rise to the surface as their friendship flounders.

Third member Nigel, aware he is an unwelcome passenger, has tagged along desperate to be accepted in an era when prejudice towards homosexuals is the norm.

Meanwhile, Dek’s wife, Liz, has travelled to England for a family reunion.

Expecting a quiet cosy Christmas, she finds herself on a journey of self-discovery facing her own ghosts from the past.

On the couple’s return to Tambula, amid festering lies and both harbouring secrets, their marriage begins to crumble.

Can their relationship survive the bitter accusations, or will the consequences of their actions add fuel to an already rocky marriage?

An offbeat story of love, loss and more, set in Tambula; a country where colonial ideals still influence the ways of the new.
