Come Spirit!

In the township of Mphopomeni in the KwaZulu-Natal region of South Africa, Siyabonga, a young man, puts up theatre plays. When he hears about a movie that will be shot in a nearby town, he makes it his mission to be part of it. From conspiring with a maid to steal wifi from the “umlungus” (white people) so he can write an email to the film producers to using witchcraft, Siyabonga does all he can to improve his life and take control of his fortune. And after travelling many surprising roads, he’ll finally meet the film’s director. Siyabonga is born out of their encounter.

It is modern day South Africa. The country ails from social unrest and constant protests. One of the many bearing witness to this time is Amanda, a young woman from Mpophomeni Township, who struggles to take care of her sick mother whilst trying to overcome the trauma of a sexual assault.

An experimental film, shot on location in London, England. "People At Night" focuses on a troubled individual John as he descends into the London night in an attempt to prove to himself that he still has some kind of agency over his life.
