Synopsis
Synopsis
Sumu la Penzi follows the life of three urban women, their misfortunes, and their adventures as they prey on high-flying men of the city to finance their expensive lifestyles. These women, Mariam, Eva and Tindi trawl on social gatherings, bars and even their friends’ workplaces with their feminine charms, often scoring ridiculously rich married men of the city. The central character, Mariam, is the elegant, classy go-getter who is dating three men at a go. She is the envy of every girl in town, a master of the game who is living the dream life. Her best friend is Eva, a banker who is dating a married man, with whom she has a daughter. She is drowning in delusions, believing that the man is in love with her and will leave his wife for her. Amidst all this is Mariam's cousin, a recent electrical engineering graduate whose efforts to score a job have hit a dead end. Mentoring these girls in their pursuits is Ama, a bar manager at their favourite joint.
