When the husband of an affluent woman kills himself, she loses the high life and pretty much everything and ends up on the street, days before she was due to give birth. With nowhere to go and no money, she is attacked and mugged, but a good Samaritan rescues her and takes her to a shelter called God's Haven, a place of safety where she delivers her baby, but it turns out to be an entirely different world. A world run by danger, desire and deception.

Set in the 1940's, Ouma Se Slim Kind is an honest tale of the foibles of humanity, love and friendship, set against the often harsh, yet strikingly beautiful rural South African landscape.
