Pata-Pata [Soft Footsteps]

Description

It all goes wrong from the moment Sandra decides to assist her mentor and fellow former co-worker Stephanie who is catering for a Couples Fellowship. They met in teacher’s college, graduated in separate years but formed a strong bond. They all taught Home Economics at high school. Stephanie has to sell her business at all costs with Sandra’s assistance. She trusts Sandra a lot.

The fellowship rules are whatever business is sold it’s done by couples. Absolutely no singles or married but spouse not available. No unattached male or female. Sandra finds herself unable to ditch her friend and partner. To observe the rules of the fellowship, a solution comes in handy.

Martin is on his own after his girl Tinashe can’t make it to the event. Tinashe decides instead to attend a bridal shower for a girl getting married the following week. Martin has a project to sell at short notice. Stephanie and her husband Jerome team up with Martin’s uncle Oswald and his wife Bridget to ‘marry’ Sandra and Martin for the event. Unfortunately, it is required by the fellowship laws that couples snuggle and exchange French kisses several times in the course of the day.

To make it worse, Martin and Sandra win an award for passionate kisses. Martin‘s girl Tinashe is not amused by the events and photographic evidence of his philandering. She contacts Sandra and there is a shouting match, an exchange of words. Sandra’s set of sisters Clara and Harriet are not amused as well so is MacDonald, Harriet’s roving unstable husband who finds it amusing and a rich cache of information to use against his wife. How will the issue end? To add confusion to the race to win Martin’s heart is the fact that Martin almost married a girl, Cleopatra who flew off to the UK in a huff.

In her turn, Sandra had an eight month live-in relation full of such abuse she is averse to men in general. She is the worst off being the only single mother of the three. Of these women Sandra, Cleopatra and Tinashe, who will finally win the prize? Is it a prize to suffer for?
