Plot
The film introduces us to Liyana Ndlovu, a charismatic and ambitious young woman who has recently been stripped of her beauty pageant title after courageously exposing a significant scandal within the pageant industry. This bold move, while morally commendable, leads to her public disgrace and the loss of her crown.
In the wake of this upheaval, Liyana grapples with feelings of betrayal, disillusionment, and a tarnished public image. Determined to reclaim her narrative and shed light on the corruption she uncovered, she embarks on writing a tell-all memoir.
This endeavor becomes her means of catharsis and a platform to voice her truth.
As Liyana delves into her writing, she reflects on her past experiences, not only within the pageant circuit but also in her personal life. She begins to examine her romantic relationships. There she recognizes that while she seeks to control the narrative of her memoir, her love life remains unpredictable and unwritten.
Liyana doesn’t feel like her writing cannot be fully complete without her deep diving into her own story. However, it is not as easy as it seems.
This introspection sets the stage for a journey of self-discovery, humor, and the complexities of modern romance. The film blends elements of comedy and drama, offering a nuanced portrayal of a woman’s quest to find her voice amidst personal and societal challenges.
