Synopsis: Strangers... Neighbors... Lovers. Love where you least expect it. The face of the new South Africa is revealed in this colorful and vibrant mosaic of love and hope. Three beautifully interwoven stories revolve around a Cape Town animal rescue shelter -- Jean Claude, a refugee from the war-torn Congo, now torn between love and the promise of asylum in the West; Lindiwe, a single mother trying to make a life for herself and her son and find a way out of the township once and for all; Sharifa and Habib, a young Muslim couple unable to have children of their own yet desperate to become a family; Morne, a recently widowed vet who wants to believe that true love can strike twice; and Kate, the feisty owner of the animal shelter, who seems to relate better to stray dogs than to people. Filled with humor and compassion and literally bursting at the seams with humanity, Cape of Good Hope reveals the human side of Mandela's Rainbow Nation as you've never seen it before.
