Childhood best friends shared many adventures.
But today, those adventures are just painful memories and reminders of the past.
At the age of 28 Hugo (Ivan Botha), a successful travel photographer, returns home to Paarl for the first time in 10 years. He arrives, to his surprise, the day before Nina (Donnalee Roberts), an aspiring author and owner of a bookshop, is about to get married.
Unexpectedly, Hugo becomes part of Nina’s big day and suddenly their lives are turned upside down again. Nina’s fairytale moment turns into a devastating storm when Retief, her fianc窠isn’t able to go through with his vows and leaves Nina alone and humiliated at the altar.
For as long as Nina can remember she has been planning her special day, in shock and hysteria, she insists that the wedding reception goes ahead – with or without the groom. After too much champagne and a long night of partying, Nina and Hugo wake up on an airplane as the captain’s voice welcomes them to the tropical island of love – Mauritius.
It is here where Hugo and Nina meet two couples the Bothas, on a second honeymoon, which is actually an attempt to rescue what’s left of their marriage; and the Van Zyls, who are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Nothing could have prepared Hugo and Nina for the new adventure that lies ahead, and when they are forced to make the best of their honeymoon, they discover there is much more to Mauritius than white beaches and waterfalls.
Day after day, painful memories resurface until all their hidden truths are revealed and a long lost love can’t be denied anymore. However, Hugo and Nina’s fantasy comes to a sudden end when reality shows up without warning. Now, only Nina can decide what the future holds. Will she realise in time that it’s not about the happy ending, but rather about the adventure on her way there?
