Wolseley tells the story of a white family struggling to survive in post- apartheid South Africa. They eek out an existence, trying to make some money every month. However, the inevitable happens, and they are no longer able to pay rent, which leads to their path to homelessness.
Wolseley, charts the family's descent into poverty, as they move from Welkom to Wolseley to Cape Town, in expectation of better opportunities, only to learn that poverty knows no geography.
The story is unique, as each family member is able to narrate their version of the story, and as various circumstances change, so those that remain behind are able to express themselves through their narrative.
