DV8 FILMS - Max & Mona

Title: Max & Mona

Director: Teddy Mattera

Imagine a world where the showering of tears to calm the soul is no different from the rain
that nurtures the soil. MAX AND MONA is a coal black comedy about a village boy (MAX BUA)
with extraordinary mourning skills, who journeys to a daunting city to become a
“white doctor”. But his riff-raff uncle, NORMAN; a “RAZOR” sharp gangster, a transvestite
mortician, a beautiful girl; and a sacred sacrificial goat, ensure that he receives a baptism
of fire. Six funerals later MAX finally comes to grips with the ever-turbulent Johannesburg.
