- Synopsis
- After having an affair with a student, a Cape Town professor moves to the Eastern Cape, where he gets caught up in a mess of post-apartheid politics. David Lurie is a fastidious and coolly impervious professor living in Cape Town. When he destroys his own university career through a foolhardy and almost entirely one-sided affair with one of his students, he flees the city to spend some time with his daughter, Lucy (Jessica Haines), leaving scandal, notoriety and anger to await his return. Shortly after his arrival at Lucy's lonely farm in the Eastern Cape, David's worst fears about her isolation are realized when father and daughter are savagely attacked by three black youth. After the initial horror begins to pass, David is confounded by a whole new level of disbelief and impotence when he learns that one of the youth is a relative of the trusted worker Petrus (Eriq Ebouaney). This black man and white woman have secured a fragile coexistence in the South African bush. Petrus has even begun building a home on a corner of Lucy's property.
