Trippin' with the Kandasamys

Aya (Mariam Bassa) is the oft-ignored, tell-it-like-it-is grandmother in TRIPPIN' WITH THE KANDASAMYS, who lives with her middle-aged son Elvis (Koobeshan Naidoo) and his wife Jennifer (Jailoshini Naidoo). Aya's narration describes the ups and downs of marriage as Elvis and Jen plan to join best friends Shanti (Maeshni Naicker) and her husband Preggie (Ugan Naidoo) on a seaside romantic getaway for Shanti's 50th birthday. While Shanti and Jen are planning alone time with their mates, the mates are planning to fish and golf without their wives. To distract the wives, they've secretly invited their adult children Prishen (Madhushan Singh) and Jodi (Mishqah Parthiephal), who have recently married each other and are looking for sexy alone-time themselves. Preggie has also asked Baby (Uraysha Ramracheya), his devious, beautiful sister, whose background is sketchy and who flirts endlessly with the welcoming Elvis. Furious Shanti and Jen try to concoct short-sighted slapstick plots to incapacitate Baby, none of which work. The husbands mock their wives, treat them as doormats and servants, and generally ignore their wishes. One gives a seven-piece set of cookware for his wife's 50th birthday, demonstrating exactly how little he cares about their romantic relationship. The wives, feeling invisible to their husbands, resort to breaking-and-entering and detective work to expose their husbands' idiocy, and that somehow causes the husbands to see the error of their ways.
