Slow movie. Bad sound. Good acting! The writer/director told his story and it pieced together fairly well, except I, too, wanted the childhood little girl friend to re-appear later--or even have her be the sister of Joseph! That would've been a good twist. It was heartbreaking to see the slum of Soweto existing within the city. The plot needed the elements to effect the outcome, but it was highly unrealistic, considering the danger involved. It wouldn't have played out like that in real life. I was disappointed in this film--it was too slow & hard to watch.
