Rescue Remedy

No one has a comfortable relationship with their father. Rescue Remedy is a queer child’s funny, tragic attempt to meet their dad halfway. Literally, on the N2 highway. Familiar flashpoints of an explosive relationship portray the love, misunderstanding, and anger between father and child – things one can laugh about in hindsight. Rescue Remedy shines a spotlight on queer people in contemporary South Africa, the trauma of a soldier, and mental health. Can father and child set their egos aside? Maybe there’s still hope. Love is reason enough to keep talking.
