After the loss of their mother, Akhona and their father attempt to find a middle ground between their diverse ways of grieving. Lihle copes with his grief by forging his way through life as usual whilst his child Akhona takes time to live in the memory through escapism using an imaginary cloud-like realm where they can still be with her. After seeing their father express his pain when thinking Akhona is not there, Akhona comes to the realization that they should not let the past cloud their present and opens to their father allowing them to share their grief.
