Synopsis
The impact the end of apartheid has had on South Africa has thus far been primarily measured in national terms. This lyrical documentary explores that change on a more personal level by following the return from exile in 1994 of the filmmaker's father, a history teacher accused of "communist practices" (a quote form Karl Marx was found amongst his teachings materials) and forced to flee in the 1960s. His return, nearly 30 years later, provides the opportunity for him to reminisce, movingly, about his work, his life, and his homeland.
