Akrasia noun (uh-krey-zhee-uh)

The act of knowing you shouldn’t be doing something but doing it anyway. It’s the one-year anniversary of Reuben’s mother’s death. He hosts an art exhibition titled Rou Moeder. A tribute, or rather a final goodbye, with his mother right at the centre of it all. Until she isn’t. The exhibition gets twisted into an evening with a strange young woman, a Vienna sausage, and a mother who isn’t ready to move on just yet. A heart that aches, tends to dance with disaster: Grief likes to be served raw, after all.
