Durban filmmaker Omelga Mthiyane follows her mother across the legendary Warwick Market in Durban, an important source of income for generations of poor people. The market is now slated for demolition in order to make room for a mall. Mthiyane uses her trademark style of filtering the political through the personal, in this case her mother's concerns about her career as a filmmaker.
