Dear Betty (2014)

DEAR BETTY written by Lara Cunha and Phuthi Nakene, directed by Lara Cunha In a quiet post office in an even quieter town, Reabetswe "Betty" Leopeng folds paper in an elaborate way as the clock ticks away the minutes of her life, which seems stuck in limbo like a parcel without an address. One day a tall, dark stranger enters the post-office. Although Betty doesn't have the courage to serve the charismatic Hloni, later she finds herself irresistibly drawn to his parcel. She breaks all protocol and opens it. Betty is knocked unconscious by a mysterious light that beams from the apparatus inside. When Betty regains consciousness, she is different - loud, outgoing, eccentric and lecturing everyone about the changes they need to make to their lives. Has Betty been body-swapped by aliens or is her brain being warped by a tumor? Or could it be that years of self-imposed repression are suddenly rebounding in outrageous ways?
