Overview

Die selbstbewusste Carmen arbeitet in einer Zigarettenfabrik und lässt sich weder von ihren eifersüchtigen Kolleginnen noch den Polizisten einschüchtern, die die Mädchen umgarnen. Carmen hat es auf Jongikhaya abgesehen, den einzigen der Ordnungshüter, der ihr nicht den Hof macht. Als er sie nach einer Messerstecherei verhaftet, nutzt Carmen die Gelegenheit, ihr Objekt der Begierde mit einem Liebesversprechen zu locken. Jongikhaya lässt sie frei - und löst damit Ereignisse aus, die Unglück und Tod in das Township bringen.
