Short Film in Production
Overtaken by greed, a woman loses everything and life goes from better to worse.
A woman's greed for luxury and wealth leads her to marry a wealthy man whose intentions are far from romantic. She plans his murder with hopes of inheriting his wealth but is shocked when she learns that her husband has taken measures to protect his assets, leaving her with nothing. She later realizes that her greed has led to her downfall.
As a female filmmaker from Limpopo under Bolobathaba Media Group, I am passionate about telling stories that explore the complexities of human relationships and morality. Deadly Inheritance allows me to dive into the dark corners of love, power, and betrayal and showcase how greed can destroy even the most beautiful facades.
