- Yes?

Just in time.

Have you maybe seen Ben?

Unfortunately not.

Oh.

Come, the show is about to start,

you don't want to miss this. Come.

Yes.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Tonight we have something spectacular...

Our group, Canasuc,

with traditional Mauritian Sega!

Marietjie Botha...

When I dream...

I dream about you.

I want to learn how to speak

every language of your heart.

And I know, I know I don't say it

enough, but... mo kontan twa.

That's Creole for I... love you.

I love you, Ben.

Come...

Let's dance.

Hi, Cat.

Sounds like a good offer.

When would they need me by?

I'll have to get back to you.

That sounds like good news.

They want me back...

Good morning.

Hello. And now?

Are you ready for your big day?

We have a surprise for you,

but for now...

you men will have to

excuse us ladies.

- Coffee?

- Thank you.

Sit.

Do you have a formal shirt?

Betsie will know.

After fifty years, I've learn't that

men are also allowed to cry.

Where do I begin to thank you

for years of friendship and love?

All our memories,

the hurt or the beauty,

wouldn't have meant anything

without you.

It's so precious for me to renew my

promise to you, here on the beach...

But I would get married

in court again any day,

as long as it's to you, Paul van Zyl.

Nina...

Thank you to you

and everyone else

who've arranged this

special occasion for us.

Am I allowed to kiss my groom now?

There you go!

Nina!

I'm so sorry.

What are you doing here?

We've come to fetch you.

And you, you scoundrel!

Dad! Dad, it was my decision

to come!

Hugo was there for me,

while this coward left your daughter

in front of the altar and

went to drink specials.

Well, just hear him out now.

I realise that I've made

the biggest mistake of my life.

Forgive me.

Why, Retief?

Because you embarrassed me?

Or because you couldn't look me in the

eye and promise me the rest of your life?

This was my speech...

I just got cold feet.

- Save your breath.

- We were meant for each other.

All the signs... all our plans.

You have every right to be angry,

I was a coward.

You haven't taken the ring off yet.

That has to mean something.

I'm sorry.

Oh... Or have you moved on

in less than a week?

Okay, you've embarrassed

yourself and Nina enough.

This isn't the time or place, Retief.

Talking about a coward.

What kind of a coward are you?

Going on honeymoon with a woman

whose heart has been broken?

And then you probably

took advantage...

Retief!

You broke her heart!

Nina, you deserve better than this.

And you think that's you?

With your history it sounds as if I

should protect Nina from you instead.

Or what?

Princess... Come home.

Whatever happened this week...

If you're able to forgive me,

I'll forgive you.

Nina!

No...

Nina!

Get up!

Nina, wait!

Nina, wait!

Please, Hugo!

I don't expect anything from you!

This week...

You and me...

Us...

I know...

It meant nothing.

You're leaving again anyway.

That's the problem...

It did.

It always has, Nina!

What do you want, Hugo?

I've never been good for you.

You're absolutely right.

I warned you to stay away from her.

What?

We told him to stay away.

Your mother and I decided that

we weren't going to watch

how this worthless troublemaker

could have ended your life.

He isn't good for you,

and he has never been.

Listen to your father, Nina.

Come on. Let's go home.

You had no right!

Sylvan, thank you so much.

Thank you, you were terrific.

Pleasure.

Ah, Marietjie...

Thank you.

Pleasure.

- Sylvia.

- Ben.

Come here!

Thanks, my man.

Miss Nina.

He took the last flight out last night.

Thank you for everything, Sylvan.

I love you?

Endlessly.

Endlessly.

They are adding a few notes

to the brainstorm

so I'll send those through

as soon as I get them.

And I emailed you your ticket

this morning. Did you receive it?

Yes, thanks.

You won't regret this, Hugo.

You were made for this.

You'll keep me posted as to

how it's going?

Of course.

Looking forward to

hearing all about it.

- Chat soon.

- Cheers.

Promise me that you'll be

completely honest.

What do you think?

A naughty nibble?

I've just come to finish that cage.

Yes, I thought I could help you.

That would be great.

Thank you.

See you outside.

Tadaa!

Oh, sorry.

Come sit down.

So, what are your plans now?

You know me, Mom.

I'm the man without the plan.

Yes...

Take good care of my mom.

You must come and visit.

That would be lovely.

I love you very much, my child.

And I love you, Mom.

Retief's here to see you, Nina.

Are you sure he's here for me?

Sit...

Sit, everyone.

This looks delicious. Thank you.

It's only a pleasure.

Ching, ching, everyone.

Retief, would you ever

get married in court?

Why would I want to do that?

Nina, I'd like to give you

everything your heart desires.

That won't be good enough for you.

You only deserve the best.

And where will we take the photos?

For the first ten years of my life,

I was completely convinced

that the prince and princess

slept in two separate rooms.

Nina, if only you'd give me a chance.

Retief really sounds sorry

about everything, Nina.

Christelle.

All I'm saying is that a man like Retief

doesn't show up in a woman's life often.

If you're that crazy about him, Mom,

why don't you marry him?

Well, if I were your age, I would have!

Damn it, Christelle.

Must you always have the last word?

Do you know what, Johan? I wish

I could get a word in for a change.

Without needing your permission.

Stop your moaning!

Why do you think I sometimes

don't want to come home at night?

And why do you think I sometimes

wish you didn't come home?

You don't have to listen to this...

Well, I can organize that very easily,

just say when...

Stop it!

Please just stop.

For 28 years, I've been listening

to you insult each other...

break each other down.

You hardly look at each other.

You never hold hands.

Don't you realise what you're

doing to each other?

You're everything I never want to be

in a relationship.

Don't you realise?

I chose to leave with Hugo.

Nina!

Trust me...

I wanted to disappear that night.

From this, from everything. From you.

Rather dead in his arms...

than alive in someone's arms

who couldn't even decide

if he wanted to spend

the rest of his life with me.

You'll never understand

what Hugo and I felt for each other.

(Knock on window)

Hi.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

I was wondering how

it would feel to stay.

I was wondering how it would feel

if we could actually manage

to disappear together this time.

You were right, Nina.

About what?

I was scared...

Scared that I'd never be

good enough for you.

I was scared that if I stayed...

I would have just hurt you again.

But what scared me the most...

Was that I would never get the chance

to take you on a second date.

Come...

And Hugo and Nina traveled

across the world

and realised that their adventure

had just begun.

Because it's not about
