Just what does shape, size and the presence or absence of breasts have to do with how women feel about their bodies and their self-worth? Does breast shape and size affect aspects of a person's identity? Nolitha grapples with complex feelings around having small, so-called 'pear-shaped' breasts. She decides to explore the roots of these feelings. Her journey through rural and urban areas of the Eastern Cape highlights stories, myths and experiences that relate to 'amabele' (breasts).
In the Transkei she visits traditional leaders, family members and the mountains that are shaped like a girl's breasts, Amabel'entombi. In PE she spends time with people who have contrasting opinions, insights and experiences to share with her. Can Nolitha be the person she wants to be amidst all the attempts to box her in a cup-size?
