Feathers are ruffled, new traditions are formed, and the mom squad, led by Jennifer and Shanti, has eyebrow-raising ideas about how to welcome and raise the new baby. As chaos ensues, family matriarch Aya (Mariam Bassa) decides to distance herself from the commotion, opting for a tranquil Mauritian getaway. Meanwhile, loveable granddads Elvis (Koobeshen Naidoo) and Preggie (Yugan Naidoo) take it upon themselves to restore peace to their idyllic escape from Durban.
But as with any family, the Kandasamys eventually band together. Throughout the movie, they undergo a series of realizations about the parenting journey and the importance of community support.
