Down So Long (2023)
Joseph Mabena lives with his wife, Doreen, their children and spouses, and their grandchildren in an overcrowded house in Hangberg. When he is injured at his workplace, Mabena receives a large compensation payment for the loss of one eye. His family is suddenly overly concerned about him and confesses their love in the hope of getting some of that money as well. Mabena sees through their false affection and decides not to share a cent of his "hard earned" money. At the local bar, he meets a new love, Zelda, and he brings her home to the horror of his wife and children. When he announces that he wants to marry her, his wife and children decide to poison him.
Directors: Angie Mills, Damir Radonic.
