CommentsFelix is a young teen from a township in Cape Town who gets a prestigious scholarship to attend a snobbish school. His mother wants him to get a good education and not play the saxophone like his father did. However the school has a musical concert and Felix is passionate about taking part. This leads to a confrontation with his mother who blames music and drink for taking her husband's life.
