Shortly after shooting his father in cold blood, Mafashion a pubescent gun fiend meets Margarine, an innocent schoolgirl. Her love for him reveals a tenderness he has always harboured, despite believing that boys should be tough and don't cry. Mafashion tries his level best not to expose Margarine to his criminal ways, but when she discovers the depth of his criminal involvement, Margarine threatens to call the police on him. When Mafashion becomes a father, his life changes and he is forced to look at himself through the eyes of the man he had so brutally attempted to murder.
Directed by Thabo Khambule, Margarine leans on a strong ensemble — Finito Bullet, Thembeni Joni, Sibusiso Makqate — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2022.
