- 'Transactions' tells a story of Zimbabwean migration through a family divided by the circumstances of a failed economy. Three siblings, Frank, Miles and Portia, sustain their family through remittances while longing for the country and family they left behind. While the fourth sibling, Chrysthle, who is still in Zimbabwe, is frustrated by her inability to help financially, even though she has a full-time job. Their mother, MaMlilo, is a conduit of all the family's challenges in hyper-inflationary Zimbabwe. Everyone who needs money comes to her in the hopes that she can help them financially. With each monetary transaction, expectations are raised on both sides.
- 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.
