Noma is a young black woman that represents a huge portion of the post-apartheid South African youth: surviving with a precarious job, living in a township in Cape Town, renting a shack. She is a strong woman who carries stoically the charge of being a single mother with two children; one of whom is a semi-paraplegic and blind disabled baby. Her obstacles are: the harsh life she's already living, dealing with poverty and a disabled child. Added to this, the struggle of building a new house in a recent slum, facing violent evictions.
