In a township in South Africa, an argument about which apple is better, the red or the green, causes the greatest divide in the town's history.

The film centre's itself in a small township, where many years ago, two best friends had a childish argument about which apple is better, the red or the green. The argument lead to the great division within the town, everyone who believed that the red apple would live on the left of a big white line in red houses while everyone who thought green was better would live on right side in green houses.
Thomas a big, friendly teenager who lives on the green side falls in love with a beautiful, compassionate girl called Thandi. The only problem is that she on the red side of the town. The couple is commanded to never see one another again by their parents, who would rather destroy something than let it blossom for what they believe is the greater good.
To overcome the division Thomas decides to build a string telephone from his room, across the township to Thandi's room on the red side. However how long can this connection go on until the townsfolk, especially their parents become aware.
