Cape of Good Hope

Kate (Debbie Brown) runs an animal shelter home in Good Hope, South Africa. She is ably helped by Sharifa (Quanita Adams) a Muslim and Jean Claude (Eriq Ebouaney), a Congo immigrant. Kate's shelter is open to animals of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. The only issue is that she extends the same principle to her love life. Coupling her problems with those of her co-workers the director explores the race and class issues still running rampant in post Apartheid South Africa with a touch of humor.
