The synopsis and trailer:

Joseph Ngema (Kenneth) is a well-meaning father and husband perpetually sidetracked by his work ambitions.

To make up for lost time, he plans an extravagant family holiday to Zanzibar, promising a work-free escape with no laptops or calls intruding on their family time.

However, when an unexpected work assignment calls him to Durban for a critical pitch, Joseph sneakily reframes the business trip as a family getaway, convincing his unsuspecting wife and children that they’re headed for a fun-filled road trip and holiday.

But reality has other plans.

Also starring are:

Lunathi Mampofu as Joseph's wife Nandi, Tina Jaxa as his ex Dora and Deli Malinga as eccentric shebeen queen Ma Rosie.

Youngsters are played by Kopano Mahlasi (Magaeng), Lubabalo Tala (aYeYe) and Yeya Ralarala.

It's produced by Burnt Onion Productions who do the How to Ruin Christmas franchise.
