This film is the first commercial feature-length production in Zulu.
Yesterday is a Zulu mother living with her seven-year-old daughter, Beauty, in their rural village of Rooihoek (English translation means literally "red corner"), in Zululand, South Africa.

She strikes up a friendship with the new teacher who arrives in the village.

Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now i need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

I said something wrong,
now I long for yesterday.
