From South Africa and the United Kingdom, three siblings - Frank, Miles and Portia - support their family back home in Zimbabwe by sending them money via a mobile app.
Their mother, MaMlilo, is a conduit of all the family’s challenges in hyperinflationary Zimbabwe. Meanwhile, the fourth sibling, Kiki, who remains in Zimbabwe, is frustrated by her inability to help financially even though she has a full-time job.
They all stay in touch through WhatsApp video calls. But with each transaction, expectations are raised on both sides.
