Murewa

How life circumstances shape the futures of young people? The story of a friendship between two teenagers.

In the quiet seaside town, Marlon and Murewa form a deep friendship, bonding over skateboarding, photography and the carefree adventures of youth. But as they grow older, their lives take different turns. Marlon leaves for university, while Murewa, facing mounting pressure at home, makes choices that lead to prison. Through years of home video, this film reflects on the complexities of growing up, and how opportunity and circumstance shape the futures of young people in ways they don’t fully grasp at the time. Intimate and deeply personal, the film explores boyhood, belonging and the lingering question of what might have been.
