transvestite mortician, a beautiful girl; and a sacred sacrificial goat, ensure that he
receives a baptism of fire. Six funerals later MAX finally comes to grips with the ever-turbulent
Johannesburg.
Max Bua leaves his country life behind in hopes of becoming a doctor in Johannesburg, though the big city has different plans for him ...
