Synopsis
Gabriel, a 50-year-old man with terminal cancer and only six months to live, returns to his hometown of Motupe to await death. There, he spends his days building a mud wall and walking by the river, where he meets Gladys, a 17-year-old girl whom the townspeople consider miraculous. A complex relationship marked by desire, illness, and uncertainty unfolds between them, all set against the traditional religious festival of the Cross of Motupe, where the sacred and the earthly intertwine in unexpected ways..
