Dire and her husband live with their seven children on a small plot of farmland, struggling with severe shortages of food and basic necessities. Their children range from 3 to 19 years old, with the eldest having discontinued his education due to hardships. Dire fetches water from distant locations, carrying heavy jars on her back. She suffers from abdominal pain, and her husband, Gobano, has an untreated shoulder injury from an accident. Their daughter Ayantu has a persistent cough, possibly tuberculosis, and young Beka also faces health issues. Dire is determined to improve their situation and hopes to restart her business reselling young bulls. With support, she can provide proper food, clothing, and education for her children, offering them hope for a 
sustainable future.
