Краткое содержание:
The grade-schooler Vuyo lives with his older brother Themba alone in Johannesburg – a city in the Apartheid in which poverty and crime are everyday realities. But Vuyo is fortunate because he is allowed to go to school. He idolizes his teacher, who also especially cares for him. Since, however, his underpaid jobs are not even enough to pay for Vuyo’s school outing, Themba sees no other way than to make some money through illegal means. One day, however, he commits a fatal deed which puts the relationship between the brothers to a hard test.
Johannesburg. A young teacher greets her class. The learners stare. Her face is mottled with bruises. Meanwhile, Themba endures another day as a security guard, stationed on a block in the posh Northern Suburbs, a coil of wasted energy. Just like the gargoyles that face him across the street, he is merely a symbolic deterrent. By day, he plays the role of protector; by night, he is the threat. Themba relies on crime to supplement his meagre income. He steals to give his younger brother the life he himself could never have. His transgressions enable him to provide the opportunities the child needs to be successful in the new South Africa. But crime affects everyone, and his "sacrifice« leads to a devastating discovery.
