Cape Town – The trailer for award-winning producer Bianca Isaac’s (Umilio, Swartwater, Kruispad, Getroud Met Rugby) directorial debut has just been released.
The family comedy 3 Days to Go tells the story of adult siblings who, after the sudden death of their father, are forced to return to their childhood home – with an assortment of partners, children and issues in tow.
They need to survive three days in each other’s company, under one roof, before they spread their father’s ashes and part ways, setting the stage for some hilariously funny moments and deeply touching ones.
This universal story of family, healing and forgiveness – written by Isaac – boasts a strong and talented cast.
