Memoirs of a Killarney Houseboy poster

He takes care of the homes of residents in a high-rise Johannesburg suburb, from older Jewish women to messier gay men.

Rejected by the object of his affections, he takes refuge with a kinky lesbian/queer couple. Tensions rise as he drives a man-sized wedge in their relationship.
