Mossie

INHALT

The tragic but heartwarming drama plays out as narrated by the wise voice of a mature Luna, Mossie's younger sister. Luna first takes us to the inseparable pair; Mossie and Adriaan, her best friend and fellow adventurer. Even through the sickness and death of the sisters' mother in their early childhood, Mossie and Adriaan remain safe in the wonderful world they occupy together. Luna then takes us forward in time. In their final year of high school, Mossie, in true teenage fashion, falls in love with a smooth-talking rugby player from university, called Leon. She enters a dysfunctional relationship, putting strain on her life-long friendship with Adriaan, who remains patient with Mossie despite her starry-eyed blindness. He tries to focus instead on breaking his track record on the athletics field; when Adriaan runs, he flies. Luna remains ever observant as she watches life unfold around the pair. The sisters' father, struggles to deal with Mossie's obviously dangerous path, but also learns to fall in love again. And Adriaan's free-spirited aunt returns from her travels to seek refuge with the family, not knowing they need her just as much. Mossie's relationship with Leon finally reveals itself to her as poisonous, after which she falls into a deep depression. Only Adriaan can pull her our of her depths, so that she may learn to fly, too.
