Son, where are you sending me in this heavy rain?
Go wherever you want, mother.
Leave the doorway.
We need to go inside right now.
I spent my entire life raising and providing for you.
So what should I spend my whole life paying you back?
Stop it.
The neighbors will hear us.
This house belongs to my name now, mother.
The name has changed, son, but not my memories.
Memories don’t pay our household expenses.
Go to your favorite son, Loazi.
He will take care of you.
You kicked him out, too.
That was his decision, not my fault.
My medicine was left inside.
Son, I put it in the bag.
Check it, then leave.
Never knock on this door again.
Mother, at least let me stay until morning.
The rain will stop.
Then there will be a new reason.
Mother, my decision is made.
Now go, Sipo.
Look at me just once, my son.
There’s nothing left to say.
Close the door or the room gets wet.
Why are you so quiet?
The decision was yours.
Her voice is still in my ears.
You will get used [music] to it.
I was tired of everyday responsibilities, Zora.
I said the same thing.
But I was the one who closed the door, not you.
Mandlera sent a message he wants to meet tomorrow.
For what?
It’s about a new business.
He said the profit is very good.
Call him in the morning.
Making money is essential now.
And mother Laz is there.
He’ll hear about it.
He will take care of her.
Tando, come here.
You are completely soaked.
I was just standing for a little while.
I saw the door closed.
Don’t hide it from me.
Don’t say anything to anyone about my sons.
Sit down first.
You are shivering.
I’m afraid of their disgrace.
Do you have Lo’s number?
I’ll call him.
He will be at work.
Work can wait.
This night won’t wait.
Tell him not to worry.
I’m with you.
I will tell him the truth, too.
Otherwise, he will delay.
I just hope my voice doesn’t make him cry.
Loazi, your mother is on my porch.
She is completely soaked.
Son, I’m okay.
Come quickly.
Seo threw her out of the house.
His breath was fast.
[music] I worried him.
You didn’t.
Circumstances did.
Still, a mother always feels her child’s burden.
[music] Mother, I have come.
You don’t need to go anywhere.
Son, so soon.
I was saying he will surely come to you.
Your hands are like ice.
Please wear my jacket.
You will catch a cold.
I have a towel.
Dry her face first, [music] son.
Sipo is right there.
If you want, I can call him.
Right now, I need to take mother home.
Yes, son.
[music] Don’t argue anymore today.
Give me this bag.
You just hold my hand.
My medicine is in it.
The phone is inside, too.
Take care of both things.
My legs are getting a bit weak, son.
Take it easy.
I’m right here.
The steps are wet.
Both of you descend carefully, please.
The car is parked at the corner of the lane.
The driver will wait.
Thank you.
I’ll give news in the morning.
You showed kinship today.
I [music] won’t forget it.
Sister, your room is small.
I will increase the trouble.
The room is small, mother.
Not your place.
Go now or else both of you will get soaked again.
Mom, this is my room.
Please come in.
Did you live here alone?
Yes, but from today this room has become a home.
I will sleep on the floor.
You keep your bed.
This bed is yours.
And you?
I can sleep on the mat, too.
Take off your wet shaw.
Take this dry blanket.
The jacket got wet, too.
I’ll hang both up.
You sit comfortably first.
The medicine will be in the small compartment of the cart.
Dear Got it.
I keep water, too.
Look, don’t lose your sleep looking after me.
What’s in the kitchen?
Can the two of us eat it tomorrow morning?
I know a little bit.
Sharing even a little bit of time together feels like a lot.
You are weak.
You need this whole bread.
You are my son, not a guest.
Then we both eat half.
No one stays alone.
Wealth comes and goes, son.
Pure intention is true wealth.
Intentions don’t pay the rent.
But clean intentions don’t stop you from finding a way.
The landlord will ask for rent tomorrow.
I have half the amount.
Tell him the truth.
If he refuses, then we will find another way together.
I can keep track of expenses.
I used to do this at home.
You don’t have to work.
Don’t consider me useless either.
I am by your side.
All right.
You keep track of expenses.
I will look for ways to earn.
We will both do our part.
Who is at the door?
Check first, son.
Lazi, tomorrow is the rent date.
You remember, right?
Yes.
Please come inside.
Sit down.
We don’t want to hide our situation from you, sir.
Here is half now.
We need time for the rest.
How much time?
Just one week and we will keep every single penny recorded.
You delayed before too.
How can I trust this?
This time note down the date.
We will only make a promise when we can keep it.
Not in 5 days.
I can pay in [music] 7 days.
You spoke directly.
I appreciate that.
A false promise only adds to [music] tomorrow’s trouble.
7 days then I need the remaining amount no longer.
Agreed.
Thank you.
May God make it easy.
We will try to fulfill our responsibility.
Take care of your mother.
I will come next week.
Definitely.
I won’t keep you waiting.
Son, now we must turn time into work.
This chair is broken.
I don’t have money to buy a new one.
The wood is good.
I can replace the joint.
Will you make it strong or just fine to look at?
I will remove this old joint then attach a new piece.
How much time will it take?
By evening, but it will be necessary to let the glue dry completely, sir.
Why are you charging less money than other craftsmen?
The shop isn’t mine.
My overhead expenses are lower.
I don’t want weak work at a low price.
I won’t compromise on sturdiness, otherwise I won’t take the work.
Should I pay first?
Pay for the material.
Give the rest after seeing the chair.
That is acceptable to me.
Other chairs in my cafe are also wobbling.
Let me fix this one first.
If the work is good, I will give you the rest as well.
Before you sit, I will test its weight capacity.
Good.
My reputation rests on this as well.
And the test of my hard work too, sir.
Come to the cafe tomorrow morning.
See the full job.
Give me the address.
I will definitely come.
First, bring this chair on time.
Then we will talk.
The chair doesn’t wobble now.
You kept your promise.
The joint is new.
The wood is the same.
My son worked through the night.
He didn’t rush quality.
I need four tables and six chairs built.
I will need to see the design and the timeline.
Son, understand both things clearly before agreeing.
No rush.
I don’t have the full amount for this wood.
Then how will the work happen?
That’s a fair question.
And we don’t want to hide anything.
Sir, use cheaper wood.
The appearance must be similar.
The appearance will match.
The sturdiness won’t.
A chair that drops a guest is never cheap in price.
You buy the material.
The labor cost later.
Will you provide the accounting for every purchase?
I will keep the receipts.
You can check everything whenever you wish.
Build one table first.
If I like it, the rest will be made.
This is fine.
Let’s decide the delivery date for the first table together right now.
I will deliver the first table in one week.
Sir, inform me beforehand if there is any delay.
It is better to inform early than to hide.
We will remember this.
I will send the material today.
You start the work.
Thank you.
I won’t let the trust break.
Let’s go, son.
Now we have to handle this opportunity with hard work.
The table is ready.
Just doing the final checks.
This corner is shaking a little.
You saw right.
One pair did not sit evenly.
If I cover this joint, it might pass.
It might pass, but how long will it last?
No, I will rebuild it properly.
That is the right way.
It is due tomorrow morning.
We have very little time left.
That is why I will fix it tonight.
Tired hands slip.
Breathe first, my son.
I’ll put the receipts together.
You take care of this pair.
Your eyes will get tired.
It’s just a little work.
Let me do my part, too.
Now the joint is fine.
We’ll have to leave it to dry.
You should get some sleep, too.
Let me gather the things first.
I’ll check the leg again in the morning.
Mother, morning is here, my son.
Let’s set the table upright.
Please stay back.
Mother, take your time and lift carefully, my son.
She doesn’t move anymore.
Mom, please take a look.
Strong.
Your faith is too.
Come on.
The car is downstairs.
We’ll arrive on time today.
The table is level.
The design is exactly what I wanted.
Every joint was checked twice.
And here are the receipts.
Every single penny is accounted for.
This is the amount for your hard work.
Count it all.
I trust you, sir.
Trust has its place.
Keeping accounts protects both.
Count it, son.
You will build the remaining tables and chairs.
One piece at a time.
We will track both the time and the space.
Yes, we will never rush quality.
If mom hadn’t [music] been there, I would have settled for cheap wood.
You had made the decision.
Both of them handled the work together, which is why I trusted them.
Set the rent aside first, then look at the savings on materials.
Today, I will pay the remaining rent.
A good craftsman is one.
He also keeps track of his accounts.
One day, we’ll have our own workshop, Mom.
Just little by little.
[music] Finish today’s work first.
The next opportunity will come.
Only through good work.
Remember [music] that.
Today, we can get a full meal for both of us.
And tea of your choice.
Go on, take home the satisfaction of today’s hard work, too.
A year ago, we barely had a single piece of bread.
And today, we have a workshop of our own.
It’s only rented, mother, and I came to learn the trade.
If you have room for me, Mr.
Dubet sent me over.
I used to work at his cafe.
Do you know any woodwork?
Just speak the truth about what you actually know, son.
I know cleaning and sanding, but I want to learn proper joinery.
That is an honest answer.
Every craftsman starts by learning.
No one is a master on day one.
Part-time work to start and full-time once our orders grow.
Will wages be paid on time.
Every week recorded in writing.
Your earned share comes first, son.
I can start today.
Just show me the proper way.
Learn safety first.
Keeping your hands safe matters far more than making quick money.
Come back tomorrow morning and head home on time today.
Thank you.
I won’t let your trust down.
Take your envelope with you.
Keeping track of your belongings is the very first lesson of the trade.
Cipo Zola told me you want to join our venture.
First, tell me what this opportunity really offers.
Sit down.
That is exactly why we called you today.
The venture is locked in.
Step in now and we see growth before month end.
When does the payout clear and where is the real guarantee?
Fortune only rewards those who take the leap.
Zola, show me the documents.
Which company is receiving the supply?
I can’t disclose the name just yet.
Why?
Until the deal closes, confidentiality is mandatory.
You understand?
If that first return comes through, I can always increase my share.
Get proper verification first.
Of course.
It’s entirely your choice.
I’m not forcing you into anything, my friend.
Committing blind trust without verified credentials is a mistake.
I have it under control.
Zola, the first milestone will speak for itself.
Cipo, send the small amount tomorrow, then the work begins.
I’ll send it.
Keep our household expenses separate.
I don’t need you.
I don’t need you teaching me how to manage money.
2 years of trust between us, and this table won’t even fit fit through my restaurant door.
I recorded the exact measurements.
Wait, let’s compare the sheet against the actual order together first.
A digit in my handwriting was misread on the sheet.
Why should my restaurant bear the loss?
You won’t have to.
The final inspection was my responsibility, and I take full ownership of the mistake.
The cafe opens tomorrow, and I need the replacement table ready.
I’ll do everything possible to rebuild it.
Both of us can stay and work tonight.
I need the finished work delivered, deducted from my payshare.
The fault was mine as well.
We make the work right first.
I don’t care about disputes.
I just need the correct table delivered.
Decide right now.
I can deliver the corrected table by tomorrow afternoon, but not by morning.
I will wait.
Just keep me updated on the progress.
I will double check and verify all the new dimensions right now.
A mistake is regrettable, but trying to conceal it is far worse.
I will not let you down.
I will open the door for you, sir.
Let me clear the way.
The timber for the replacement table will come from our savings reserve.
We have enough set aside.
That was set aside for the new workshop machinery.
The machinery can wait.
First, we make our mistake, right?
Pausing wages temporarily could ease the burden of the replacement costs.
My family is counting on that income at home as well.
Absorb the loss, my son, but never hold back anyone’s rightful due.
You will receive your full pay, Bongani.
That is my responsibility.
Then I will give my complete effort.
That settles it.
Now both of you align on the build plan.
The timber is ready.
Call out dimensions and I’ll mark cuts.
We measure twice.
I’ll leave tea here.
Full focus when machine starts.
It is past midnight.
Both of you sit down and rest for a moment.
There is still too much work left to finish.
Tired, tired hands will only make another mistake.
Pausing for 5 minutes is better, brother.
I fear this mistake could shatter all the trust we built.
We are putting it back together right now.
Trust is never broken by making a mistake.
It breaks only when you abandon responsibility.
Morning has broken and every measurement on the new table aligns perfect.
Verify every joint as well.
I will prepare the delivery slip.
Then make sure you deliver it right on schedule, my son.
The delivery truck is here, Bongani.
Let’s lift the table together.
I have got the other end.
Deliver honest craftsmanship today.
Our rewards will follow another day.
You saw that first payout.
Now it’s time to claim a larger share.
Yes, the money arrived.
Come inside.
Let us discuss the full details first.
This order is much larger, so your profit will multiply.
How much capital is needed?
Our savings won’t cover that.
[music] You can secure a loan against the house.
I will not let you risk our home.
Sipo, the house is mine.
The decision is entirely yours.
I will bring the money back.
Stop being afraid.
If your mother were here, she would have stopped you from taking this step.
That is why I make my own choices now.
Independence only has value if you seize the right moment, my friend.
If the capital gets delayed, how do we recover it?
Why would it get delayed?
You already saw the first return materialize.
That is not a real answer.
I trust this arrangement and that is final.
Take tonight to think.
A decision can still be made tomorrow.
Opportunity does not wait.
I am not rushing you.
I am not rushing you.
I am doing it today.
Understand?
When the capital arrives next week, the venture moves forward.
I will take care of the arrangements.
Remember, you will bear the consequences alone.
Do not leave this to me.
In 3 years, we move from a single back room all the way to this.
Sloi, I did not get here alone.
Everyone put in the honest work.
That is why this space is built for all of us.
The equipment installment remains pending.
Set that aside first.
Already set aside, mother.
Then can we accept the new commission?
Only take on what we can honorably deliver.
That mistaken table now serves us every day in our dining area.
It reminds us of the setback and it reminds us of the courage to make things right.
Never let a mistake turn into mere shame.
I thought about buying a personal car with our first major earnings.
And now you set aside the workers’s pay first.
A car can wait.
No family’s livelihood should be put on hold.
Have you heard any news of Seo?
My son, it has been quite some time.
No, mother.
I can discreetly ask around’s well-being.
I want no disrespect or disgrace brought upon him.
My son, if he ever comes by, we will speak with him.
Mother, do not close that door.
What if he asks for work?
First, we will hear him out.
Then we will make our decision together.
I will open up the workshop.
We begin the new commission today.
I am coming right behind you.
Drink your tea first.
Both of you learn to catch your breath before the day’s work begins.
Mandlera has not been answering his phone for 3 days.
Zola, did you go to his office?
It was locked.
Then why have you been telling me everything was fine?
Why did you wait until now to tell me?
I intended to resolve the matter before telling you.
How much was committed?
All our reserves and the title to this house.
Everything.
Why didn’t you show me this notice when it arrived?
They are demanding the overdue installment.
Do we have the money for the installment?
No, there is nothing left now.
Zora, the initial return arrived.
I convinced myself everything was genuine.
You stopped asking questions.
Yes, I mistook my blind ambition for trust.
That was my true mistake.
You wanted a better life as well, not only me.
I asked you to protect our home.
Yes, the choice was mine alone and the burden is mine to bear.
Tell me how many days can we remain here?
I asked for an extension but we will have to sell.
And the remaining balance.
Whatever remains after the sale must also be paid.
Zora, we made mother leave this very house.
Remember?
What difference does that make now?
Perhaps now I finally understand what it truly means to have no home.
I cannot live this life.
I am packing my belongings.
Will you abandon me in times of hardship?
I am leaving.
Then what must my mother have endured?
Zora, in a single night, our entire relationship became reduced to luggage.
Zola, I spent the entire [music] night thinking.
I kept thinking as well, but my realization came too late.
Do not conflate my choice with your mother’s forgiveness.
I have not even asked for her forgiveness yet.
Then seek it from her.
Do not look to me to answer for your choices.
Principle.
I chose my own convenience over mother’s dignity.
That is the truth.
And I went along with it.
Now there is no excuse left to shield us from that reality.
Zora, I am going to my sister’s house.
Do not stop me.
I will not stop you.
Open the door.
This time I will push no one away.
Go.
Call your mother.
At the very least, tell her the truth.
I am gathering the courage.
Courage does not come from waiting.
I know.
Yet I am still afraid.
The employment agency sent me here.
Is there an opening for manual labor?
Yes, handling cleanup and moving raw materials.
I can handle that.
I only asked for honest work, not charity.
Where did you work before and where do you stay now?
I ran a business.
I had to sell my home to settle debts.
And now I have been staying in temporary lodging for 3 weeks.
The owner is Luazi.
You must meet with him first.
He is inside today.
Luazi?
Which Luazi?
He is from this city.
Why do you already know him?
Perhaps I do know him.
I wish to see his face first.
Very well.
Step inside.
My name is Seo.
I will speak the truth.
I have not come here to conceal anything.
Come with me.
The office is straight ahead.
Do not wander into the workshop alone.
I will follow behind you.
You can have some water there as well.
Thank you.
I haven’t had anything to drink since morning.
Loazi, a man has come asking for work.
His name is Seo.
Send him in.
I am right here, brother.
If you are willing to hear me out, I will speak.
Sipo, how are you here?
What happened to you?
I came looking for work.
He carries a slip from the employment office.
I only learned this was your place when I heard your name at the gate.
If you do not want me here, I will leave.
Come inside.
Sit down first.
Here’s a chair.
Thank you.
I have not come to take away your peace, brother.
Bongani, please bring some water and food from the canteen.
I will bring it right away.
I cannot pay for it.
Nobody asked you for money right now, brother.
Mother is here.
Would she be willing to see me?
Let her decide for herself first.
I will bear whatever her answer is.
I just need to tell her the truth once, brother.
I brought water and food.
Shall I place it on the desk?
Yes, thank you.
I haven’t even done any work yet.
We won’t settle scores over hunger later.
Eat.
Loazi told me you had come, so I came to see for myself.
Mother, I cannot even lift my eyes to face you.
Listen to mother first, then say what you need to say, brother.
I was the one who cast you out, mother.
I will not lay the blame on anyone else.
That night, did you remember who I was?
Answer truthfully, brother.
This is not the time for excuses.
I remembered, but I prioritized my own comfort over your dignity.
That was what wounded me.
Do not hide from it now.
Take full responsibility upon yourself, brother.
Please forgive me.
I have failed to be [music] a worthy son to you.
Becoming worthy is still ahead of you.
Do not fall to the ground, brother.
Stand tall before her and own your mistake.
A mother’s heart forgives, my son, but the ache still remains.
I cannot erase what I did.
But you have the power to change how you move forward.
Brother, I am not asking for I only ask for a chance to redeem myself.
You will have that chance.
I will give it time.
I will not run away.
This time, I promise.
Cleaning and counting inventory.
That is the work I can offer.
I will do it.
No honest work is small.
My thinking was small.
I must change that.
Mother, being your brother gives me no special entitlement.
Lozi, wages will be according to standard rules for everyone.
And arrive on time.
I will be the very first to report tomorrow, mother.
For now, we have a guest room in our home.
Come stay there.
Will you not be afraid?
There will be boundaries.
We will inform Bongani first, then we will head home together.
Shall I pick up my bag?
Yes, my son.
This time I will carry my own burden, mother, not you.
I received wages for 3 weeks.
Should I contribute my share to the household expenses?
Keep what you need for yourself as well.
A share is not made by money alone, my son.
Do you trust me now, brother?
More than before, but not completely yet.
Do not rush.
What was broken will heal with time, my son.
Mother, let me fill your plate first, then I will take some.
Today your hand does not tremble.
Perhaps this time he made his choice out of love, not convenience.
A home is not built merely of walls, but of mutual respect for one another.
Now I understand, mother.
Sit down, brother.
Today all three of us eat together.
