"Time flows differently for those who are excluded from the world." In a farm outside Pretoria, the Swart family gathers for the funeral of the family matriarch, but beneath the mourning, their differences boil…
From the younger generation, Anton and Amor find themselves despising everything their family represents, such as the unfulfilled promise to the Black housekeeper, Salome, who has spent her entire life working for them. They once promised her they would give her house back, her land… but years and decades pass, and the promise is never fulfilled.
The narrative flows from one character to another. And as the country transitions from the dark past of racial discrimination to a supposedly fairer present, a much greater promise, to an entire people, seems to be denied…
A universal story about the legacies that weigh us down, families that are both hated and loved with the same passion. The promises upon which lives, families, and nations are built. And the land that becomes the apple of discord and the theater of our torment until it embraces us all, the just and the unjust, in its fold…
