Some things don’t happen on the first try but for fifteen-year-old Danai Matamba the time for love has come. On a hot summer day in 1989, while standing outside Ricky’s Ice Cream Hut, seventeen-year-old Daniel meets Danai, the beautiful spirited daughter of Zimbabwe’s wealthiest lawyer. It is an unexpected encounter, which promises to unlock the suffocating confines of Daniel’s ordinary life. The eldest son of an ordinary Shona middle class family, Daniel concludes, 'When I first saw you Danai I knew you were created to be mine.' The two embark on a breathtaking love affair sweeping through Mbare’s shanty markets to Harare’s forbidden hidden world. A journey that challenges the confines of the society they live in. But will Daniel and Danai’s blossoming love survive unseen obstacles or the stranger who enters their lives? Set in the splendor and opulence of 1980’s post-independence, pre-depression Zimbabwe. Amid a country awakening to its own freedom and self-discovery. When Love Danced will take you on the journey of an exceptional coming-to-age story rooted in a nation struggling to find its own identity in a rapidly transforming world.
