Sinothile Jessica Hlabisa

When I first watched this movie, I was a teenager - I never really connected with what the actress was going through. I mostly loved that it ended with love. Now, as a young adult, having squeezed a few lemons in the department of love, I finally understand. It's the built-up frustration, patience to endure in situations you should rather leave, and the hard work she put in her marriage, in her life to make life easy for this person, for both of them heart-willingly; she persevered for this man. If you count the little to none effort, this man put in and how he suddenly decided it was over and done for with Helen - I would've been mad myself. The most important lesson we could learn is maybe to not do for others but do for ourselves - it's important to put your wellbeing first, it's not selfish. Yes, love can make us do crazy things but don't forget yourself. Before you are someone's wife, you are someone's daughter; you are yourself, you are made up of so much, so why stand for so little. All in all, watch this movie. It's beautiful.
