It's December in the Valley of a Thousand Hills - a time when people return from the cities, a time for swimming in the river and playing in the sun, a time for mangoes and new clothes.
Outside Durban's busy shops, Thando sees a strangely dressed man and learns that Father Christmas is a kind person who brings children presents.
Will he bring Christmas presents to the children of her Valley? Or will Gogo's magical story about Nomkhubulwane the rain goddess come true?
'Gcina is the keeper of our traditions, our history, our pride and our future.' - JOHN KANI
