Through our main character Gibson, who works as a journalist, we delve into the everyday lives of a number of young Zimbabweans who are struggling to make it in the bustling capital, the rough ghetto, the austere scrap yard and the lagging rural area. We meet the youth when they discuss future dreams as well as when they talk about female independence, while trying to develop the business potential of a small french fries booth in the countryside. Throughout the film Gibson tries to convince his friends that hope and anticipation will only lead to disappointment as he keeps repeating that when it comes to politics one should never ever get emotionally attached. However, when Mugabe's old party once again tampers with the result and the military is deployed against peaceful protesters, Gibson finds it difficult to follow his own mantra.
