In celebration of the 150th anniversary of Indian peoples’ arrival in South Africa

Mothi, a sugar worker, comes to the “non-white” bar of the White House Hotel on the KZN North Coast to ‘drown his sorrow’ in the 1950s.

Mothi’s teenage daughter is having an illicit affair with an unknown ‘longhaired young man’.

When confronted, she runs away from home.

A distraught Mothi pours out his grief to the barman, Sunny, and the Stranger, much to the annoyance of the Lahnee who is in the ‘whites only’ bar next door.

Trouble looms when a longhaired young man, Johnnie, a Chinese numbers game runner, enters the scene.
