The acting is terrible...the writing, even worse.

It could have been something special...alas, it needed talent.

The(ir) Blurb...

Traditionally, Zulu woman were barred from household chores during menstruation, and the maidens were isolated in the girls hut, a time for rest and contemplation called Ukuya Enyangeni, 'going to the moon.' Lindiwe's dreams are disturbed by her desire for the Amamqhikiza, her 'guide' during this time.
