Not My Will is a movie which depicts the perils faced by youths, especially in university environments. At the beginning of the movie, the protagonist, Nalo, is distressed by a very disturbing dream which plunges her into the hands of Simon, a ‘successful’ scammer who dazzles her with his ill-gotten riches and flashy lifestyle. Unable to resist, she is dragged into a world of ostentatious living without any knowledge of the source of these riches.

This causes her relationship with her boyfriend, Weg to undergo some strain. When she finally finds out the source of his money, she is appalled and she humiliates him publicly. Simon is infuriated and is determined to get his dignity restored at the expense of Nalo.
Not My Will is also packed with musical performances by a great variety of artists in a live musical concert featured in the movie. This movie is a must-watch for all families and all music lovers.
