Various people at different stages of life and age. Grafik: Tobias Schrank © Goethe-Institut

The Simons and Mathivha families share their stories of living in the Bo Kaap of Cape Town and the Shayandima settlement in the North Eastern part of South Africa respectively. West and East and hundreds of kilometers apart, both families speak of traditions and religion as well as living together under one roof. The films speak nearby the two families; one Jewish descendents from Senna, and the other, descendants of enslaved persons from Indonesia."
