Sea Point Days

François Verster

South Africa

2007

Alongside the southernmost urban centre in Africa, separating city from ocean, lies a strip of land. The Sea Point Promenade and the public swimming pools form a space unlike any other in Cape Town. Right here, slightly away from the hustle and bustle of the business area, life is most unapologetic in all its forms. Power-walkers speed past homeless people kissing above the rocks and rent boys waiting for the next pick-up. A film that explores memory, nostalgia, identity and the right not only to have space but also happiness.
