GUMS & NOSES

A black comedy from South Africa about cocaine, advertising and self-esteem, Gums & Noses is a roller coaster ride which captures the protagonist’s descent into the dark world of addiction and dependency.

Gums & Noses is a wacky, sassy, sexy and invigorating joy-ride through the yuppie South African world of advertising. When a colleague has a nervous breakdown, aimless James is unwittingly launched into cut-throat, fickle, false and highly pressured career as advertising as advertising executive. When inspiration finally begins to flood through him, his boss, clients and bank, manager are all ecstatic. Hooked on the buzz of success, James immerses himself deeper and deeper into the drug underworld, until reality, literally, knocks at his door.
