Set in the new South Africa, this odd couple road movie follows two forgotten souls who find each other. Wonderboy, a homeless young black boy, and Kobus, a white, middle-aged, former Apartheid-era soldier, cross paths when the boy takes refuge in the elder's van. Traveling to Cape Town, the pair experience the beauty of their changing country and form a bond in spite of their differences.
Wonderboy is a paint-huffing, young black boy living os the streets of Johannesburg. Kobus is a middle-aged Afrikaner soldier who is down on his luck, trying to sell furniture wax. Their paths cross when Wonderboy takes refuge from an angry drug dealer in Kobus's van. Kobus unwittingly drives to Cape Town with Wonderboy in tow. While Kobus is hoping to sell some wax, Wonderboy is hoping to find his mother there. The two soon form a bond in spite of themselves.
