- Synopsis / Plot
- Young mother Yesterday (Leleti Khumalo) lives in Rooihoek, a remote village with meagre resources, with her daughter Beauty (Lihle Mvelase), while her husband (Kenneth Khambula) is away working in Johannesburg's mines. Falling ill, she struggles to see a doctor, never guaranteed a consultation after walking the long distance to the medical centre, which is only open one day a week and always oversubscribed. When she finally gets an appointment, she is diagnosed as HIV positive. Devastated, she goes to visit her husband who refuses to accept the situation, and Yesterday is left to fend for herself, desperately hoping she will survive long enough to see Beauty go to school. Yesterday claims she was named so by her father because 'things were better yesterday'. A bold statement given South Africa's painful history, but given how the AIDS epidemic has affected the region, it is sadly clear to see how some can come to that conclusion. Set against the stunning, harsh landscapes of South Afica's Zululand, director Darrell Roodt (Sarafina!, Cry the Beloved Country) insists his film is not a message movie, but a timely depiction of how devastating the disease is for the individual.

Nedjma, de 18 años, estudiante alojada en la ciudad universitaria de Argel, sueña con convertirse en estilista y se niega a que los trágicos sucesos de la guerra civil argelina le impidan llevar una vida normal y salir por la noche con su amiga Wassila. Al caer la noche, se escurre entre las redes del alambrado de la ciudad con sus mejores amigas para acudir a la discoteca donde vende sus creaciones a las ‘papichas’, las jóvenes argelinas. La situación política y social del país no deja de empeorar. Nedjma se niega a aceptar las prohibiciones de los radicales y decide luchar por su libertad e independencia organizando un desfile de moda.
