Importance hope

Nombeko is a woman possessed by a hope that she can be recognized for her merit and live a normal life. Growing up poor in racist South Africa, this seems a tall order. However, with an eye to staying calm, managing chaos, and loving people well, she does what she can to see her dream realized. Likewise, Holger Two wishes for a "normal life," although their two upbringings are so radically different. Together these characters work to keep their zany world together.
