Plot

Thabaton 1

Thabaton, a girl, eloped with her lover Yaima. Their relationship resulted in the conflict between the two lovers' families, even causing murder of each other's family members. However, Thaba and Yaima never parted each other. To retaliate the loss of sons (Yaima's brothers), Yaima's mother sent Yaima to a distant place for his further studies, and she tortured pregnant Thaba during Yaima's absence. A few moments after the child birth, Thaba was forced to leave the house, telling her a lie that Yaima was dead in an air crash. On the other side, Yaima was told by his parents that Thaba willingly left home as she didn't want to stay with them. Unaware of the conspiracies, Thaba married to another man and had a peaceful life. Later, she discovered the truth that her former husband was still alive. When Thaba met Yaima again to explain everything to him, her second husband saw her, which created a misunderstanding in her second husband's mind. Fighting all the odds, Thaba cleared all the misunderstandings from the two men. In the end, Thaba lived with her second husband with her child. [5]

Thabaton 2

Yaima's adjustment to being apart from Thaba is the first topic covered in the second part. In an effort to find some peace, Yaima made the decision to start a farm in a rural region. There, he met Nungshithoi, a young and goofy girl. They each experienced romantic love. There were some disputes between them once Nungshithoi learned that Yaima was previously married, but they were later resolved when Yaima demonstrated his love for Nungshithoi and they got married. On the other hand, Thaba is now contently residing with her second husband, her mother-in-law, and her daughter. They stood strong and stayed together like rocks, even though strangers tried to split apart their family through negativity.

When everything seemed to be going smoothly, Yaima's parents made the decision to file a lawsuit against Thaba and her second husband in an effort to obtain Thaba and Yaima's daughter from their previous marriage. This led to a lot of conflict between the two families. Yaima was oblivious to it, though, until the distraught Thaba called and told him everything. Yaima arrived in court during the trial and returned his daughter to Thaba and her second husband. Yaima's second wife eventually persuaded him to make amends with his parents. The announcement that Thaba is expecting a child with her second husband signals the end of the movie.

Thabaton 3

When Thaba's second husband passes away, her son and daughter have grown up, and her daughter has since gone on to become a doctor, the third part starts. Thaba is currently employed by the department of education, where she is regularly confronted with the director, who has a very filthy and intimate gaze towards her. The daughter of Yaima and Nungshithoi is the same age as Thaba's son. They had no idea that the son of Thaba and the daughter of Yaima and Nungshithoi were dating. Thaba and Yaima were brought together by an occurrence, and it was then that they discovered the relationship between their children. Given their past, Thaba and Yaima were both adamantly opposed to their children getting together. Even though Yaima objected, Nungshithoi and her mother supported the two youngsters when they rebelled.

Yaima's mother learned that the doctor is actually their grandchild from Yaima and Thaba's first marriage after Yaima's father was admitted to the hospital where Thaba's daughter worked as a doctor. This caused friction between the two families, which was quickly resolved when Yaima's mother again apologised for her behaviour.

When Thaba's director suspended her, she exacted revenge on the director by using the help of her son to reinstate the suspension. She even received a promotion to the title of director after disclosing the director's wrongdoings. The director of Thaba and his men were enraged and attempted to harm Thaba and her family. In the past, there have been unresolved clashes and arguments between the director's men and Thaba's son regarding Yaima and Nungshithoi's daughter. The boyfriend of Thaba's daughter stabbed one of the men during the fight. However, Thaba's son wanted to bear the blame for the killing and persuaded his sister and her boyfriend to flee. Police detained Thaba's son.
