Around 1960, Englishman Toby Hood comes to Johannesburg to run a publishing company. He is open-minded and befriends people with different social ranks, but the harsh realities of society force him to make a choice about friendships. The film features a stunning soudtrack by legendary pianist and composer Gideon Nxumalo, who also features as a character in the film. Other appearances include Zakes Mokae, Evelyn Frank, Kippie Moeketsi, and Mackay Davashe.
Directed by Henning Carlsen, based on a story written by Nadine Gordimer.
