EPISODE 1 

INT. LIVING ROOM, LEKU'S APT. - NIGHT 

The living room is a room with uncostly, yet tasteful 
furnitures. Inside, LEKU, a Black South African woman (or man) 
in her early 20s, with an urban relaxed look, is seated next 
to ZIYANDA, a South African woman, preferably Black or 
Coloured, stylish and sassy (which her accent shows). They are 
both drinking Gin and Tonics and are clearly in the middle of 
a conversation. 

LEKU 

(a nostalgic smile on 
her face) 

Eish...those were fun times! 

(pause) 

But you know what's the most 
interesting? 

ZIYANDA 

Enlighten me. 

LEKU 

Out of all the South Africans and all 
the French in London, both me and her 
couldn't find anyone we'd feel closer 
to! 

ZIYANDA 

That's beautiful. Have you met again 
since then? 

LEKU 

No! We were just telling each other, 
it's gonna be the first time in six 
years! After the year abroad, I moved 
back to Cape Town, and she moved to 
Dublin to work in tech. But the beauty 
is, we're still in touch! 

ZIYANDA 

Wait...I thought she was in Bali? 

LEKU 

Yeah. She left her job last year. I 
think she's just been traveling around 
since then. 

ZIYANDA 

Sounds rad. But how can she afford that?
