In the twilight of his life, 60-something Harry just wants to be left alone to lead his quiet existence. A dignified doorman at a five-star hotel by day, Harry spends his nights lovingly maintaining his collection of miniature trains. But the world is changing and it seems a free South Africa has no use for an older white man. He’s informed he’s too old for his job and must train his replacement before he leaves. Horror of horrors. The new doorman is a woman! She’s the boisterous, hyper social Vuyo who batters him with questions and nosy concern. Worse, Vuyo wins the attention of the beautiful, aging actress Marlene, whom Harry has quietly worshipped through the years she’s visited and stayed at the hotel. When Marlene takes Vuyo on a shopping trip, Harry finds an opportunity for revenge.
