Synopsys:

On 10 March 2019, a Boeing 737 MAX airplane crashed just six minutes after taking off from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. All 157 people on board lost their lives, including Max Thabiso Edkins, the younger brother of director Teboho Edkins. He and his father, film producer Don Edkins, travelled together to the crash site to seek something tangible in their grief. There, they met people who regard mourning as a profound part of their culture. A humanity in stark contrast with what many saw as a calculated stance by the airplane manufacturer Boeing.
