Ayanda

Synopsis



In a vibrant and diverse Johannesburg community, 21-year-old Afro-hipster, Ayanda has a knack for taking neglected pieces of furniture and “bringing them back to love”. Eight years after her father’s death, she is determined to revive her prized garage business, which is in deep debt and in danger of being sold. The film crackles with infectious energy and style, capturing a vividly contemporary view of South Africa. Inspired by the possibilities of a modern African aesthetic, AYANDA explores a core theme of how we let go of the things and people we love.
