The Drop
2024, English. Directed by Jonathan Parkinson.
In the age of post-Covid, minding your own business may not be enough
Two close friends from film school, Tom and Vongani share an apartment in Maboneng Johannesburg with a sexy high spirited girl, Loretta. Tom is looking for inspiration for his first film script, when a heist takes place in the street below, and a gunman bursts into their apartment. They are taken hostage, but things quickly go wrong and the gunman dies by his own gun. The three friends' lives are turned upside down, when they discover a backpack containing money and a memory stick that every badass in town seems to be after.
