An expat Sotho doctor loves his family and loves his wife. On the outside they seem to live this perfect life. But Moses Mokoena can’t shake the memory of the beautiful Afrikaans girl he once loved 30 years ago. And when the love child he never knew suddenly turns up in his life, the past and present converge in an emotional collision that will challenge everything he’s ever known. Noah’s character is the metaphor of the power of family love and his symbolic ‘ARK’ represents family, starting over, dreams, hopes, the past, the future and, finally, promise. Through six strong characters, Noah’s Ark explores dramatic issues that many South African families face; issues of grieving, of midlife crises, of hopelessness and of the hope that shines strong through even the darkest times. This mini-series stars acclaimed local actors Patrick Shai, Nakedi Ribane, Koketso Mojela, Moshidi Motshegwa, Susan Coetzer and Antonio Summerton
