Another jewel by Namibian director Chrisjan Appollus, Share is a comical allegory of life on the streets of Windhoek. Without being moralistic, this short movie leaves no doubt about who is stung in the end. While a young woman is going out for lunch she is hesitant to share her meagre two slices of white bread with two obnoxious street kids. A bag-snatcher gets the better of the situation by stealing her hand-bag and making a get away, however, not without teaching the woman a lesson she'll probably never forget.
