Die Burgess-familie is ’n tipiese moderne, kultureel gemengde Suid Afrikaanse gesin in die noordelike voorstede van Kaapstad, bo-op ’n heuwel, onder ’n kruis. Eric is sekulêr, maar sy vrou, Juleigha, wat verkies om Julie genoem te word, is ’n niepraktiserende Moslem. Hulle het twee kinders. Dean is ’n professionele aanlyn gamer, en Leila, ’n mediese student vier haar Moslem-identiteit, wat sy onlangs herontdek het – iets wat haar ma woes irriteer. Toe Julie skielik aan ’n hartaanval sterf, onderneem Leila om vir haar ’n Moslem-begrafnis met die hulp van Julie se ma te reël. Dit krap die hele familie om. Almal moet nou jare se konflikte en onderstrominge binne een onstuimige dag navigeer sodat Julie, soos Moslem-tradisie vereis, voor sonsondergang begrawe kan word.
The Burgess family is a typical modern, culturally blended South African family in the northern suburbs of Cape Town, on top of a hill, under a cross. Eric is secular, but his wife, Juleigha, who prefers to be called Julie, is a non-practicing Muslim. They have two children. Dean is a professional online gamer, and Leila, a medical student, celebrates her Muslim identity, which she recently rediscovered – something that irritates her mother greatly. When Julie suddenly dies of a heart attack, Leila undertakes to arrange a Muslim funeral for her with the help of Julie’s mother. This upsets the whole family. Everyone must now navigate years of conflicts and undercurrents within one tumultuous day so that Julie can be buried before sunset, as Muslim custom requires.
