Hard truths

Synopsis

For Pansy, life is a constant struggle, plagued with both physical and mental pain, her way of relating to the world is through anger and confrontation: she argues with her family, her dentist, doctor, and even supermarket check-out staff. For a long time, her husband Curtley, has been at a loss as to how to relate to her and her son Moses lives immersed in a world of his own, barely exchanging a word with her and who spends his days roaming aimlessly around the city. Only her loving sister Chantelle truly understands her plight and is able to reach her.
