Vezuva, a modern ovaHerero woman, finds herself between a rock and a hard place. After completing her studies abroad and returning home, Vezuva learns that she has to marry her cousin. This is a custom in her culture, but Vezuva hopes for a compromise as she loves someone else. She pleads with her mother; but her mother makes a compelling argument that convinces Vezuva to continue with the wedding. The marriage is doomed from the start and Vezuva’s tries to reach out to her mother, but her pleas fall on deaf ears. Vezuva’s only confidant is her sister, who she soon realizes, might soon face a similar fate as hers.
