(5.00 from 1 review)
A story about South Africa - the hopelessness of the oppressed, the opulence of the privileged, the criminal escapades of John and Jimson, striving to survive, and the lavishness of Herman Malan's lifestyle lead to conincidences that only occur in real life. The stage is cosmopolitan Johannesburg and the disgrace of Soweto, filled with sacrifices, love and the triumph of the goodness of people.
