South Africa 2007 4x 48min
Dir: Sechaba Morojele & Lesego Majatladi
Starring:  Sidu Majola, Aaron Moloisi, Lucky Khoza, Bokang Maema, Khanyisile Mbau

One of two home-bred, four-part experimental gay mini-series to hit the South Africa’s local screens early this year, After Nine explores a successful but closeted man with all the outward elements of South African life: entrepreneurial success within the BEE framework, societal pressure and the expectations of culture.

China is a success – his construction company has hit the big time and he’s in a steady relationship with Bokang. Then China meets Hector, an architect who shares China’s passion for basketball and when they fall for each other, the wheels begin to fall off. China’s new association with Hector is complicated further when his girlfriend announces that she is pregnant and he is pressured into marrying her. China finds compromise by living straight during the day and gay after nine, but pressure from both sides of his unsteady love triangle makes living a lie difficult.
