A year in the life of the girls who love a gang of car hijackers called the Very Fast Guys. Unemployed, at school or recent dropouts, living in a settlement near Johannesburg which offers few prospects, the girls pin their hopes for a better life on the Guys. Money, glamour, a fast-paced lifestyle, even romance and marriage—these ought to be the rewards of a gangster’s girlfriend. But the film charts the sad descent of their relationships into a morass of lies, jealousy, betrayal and abuse. Those who manage to escape to finish school or find a job, uncowed by beatings and death threats, are soon replaced. A poignant tale of wasted opportunities and small triumphs.
