It is a substantial distance between Cape Town and Johannesburg. Elvis, the husband-to-be, engagingly played by Kenneth Nkosi, sets off from Johannesburg to Capetown, where he is to marry Ayanda (Zandile Msutwana), who has been planning the wedding of her dreams. First Elvis stops in Durban to meet his buddy Tumi (Rapulana Seiphemo), scheduled to be the best man, and things go wrong from there.

One mishap after another results in delay and raises the question of whether they will ever arrive for the big event, or whether the increasingly frustrated Ayanda will be left without the groom. There is a lot of cell phone calling to try to keep track of what’s going on, and Ayanda wonders whether Elvis is irresponsibly trying to escape from his commitment.

In the process we get a glimpse of family divisiveness between Ayanda’s mother who wants a more traditional wedding and Ayanda, who wants a more modern version. There are also run-ins between Elvis and Tumi, who are black, and whites still resentful of the upheaval that has taken place in South Africa. But with the attitude of good will bristling in the film, such confrontations are marked by whimsy and changes of heart. There is the added attraction of Jodie Whitaker as a white visiting Brit picked up during the travels.
