Are there any real warriors out there?
When Nyarai learns that her best friend Nonto is engaged, she and her friend Maxi become concerned that their window of romantic opportunity may soon be closing. Although she is a successful advertising executive, Nyarai’s parents are unsatisfied with the life she has chosen, and insist that she get married, while her younger sister Mati is ordered to give up on her dreams of basketball.
When Nyarai finds out that her cousin Nonto is getting married, she and her friend Maxi, are set into a frenzy at the thought that their time to find 'Mr. Right' may be running out. Nyarai endeavors to find out whether or not it is possible to find a man as strong and dependable as the mythical traditional warrior. Although she is a top executive with a leading advertising agency, her parents are not satisfied, insisting that she needs to get married to pave the way for her younger sister. They tell her that she should forget her frivolous ideas and concentrate on finding a good man to settle down with, while also insisting that her sister's dreams of becoming a professional basketball player are a waste of time. Set in present day Zimbabwe, against the backdrop of Nyarai's own romantic escapades with her basketball playing toyboy Che and her more mature and financially stable older boyfriend, Leslie, Nyarai must decide in which direction she wants to take her life, without simultaneously upsetting too many people.
