"One child, one seed.
Two hands to plant the seed.
Three ways to help it grow."

So play a simple counting game. Watch a pumpkin grow. Follow young Nothando and discover the rhythms of her daily life in this vivid portrait of one child, one seed, and the South African village in which they both thrive.
