Storyline

Cape Province, South Africa… The desert. The sticky gloom and a light that bursts with violent clarity. Four characters living isolated on a farm amidst a hot and dusty landscape star in an ambiguous story, a mosaic of power and strength relationships, of culture and race, of desire and submission. A daughter toward her father, the oppression of Blacks toward Whites.
