Beth and Thuli have a longstanding lesbian relationship but pretend to only be housemates. Beth has a hard time disclosing she’s a lesbian. When Dineo, an old school friend, commits suicide, Beth and some friends must help out with the funeral ceremony. They all parade as being successful but all harbour secrets. Which secret did Dineo take with her to the grave? Does Beth dare tell that she’s a lesbian? An intense film over love, relationships, façade and coming out.
