In South Africa’s Eastern Cape, a boy from the Xhosa community rebels against the circumcision ritual that signifies the progression to manhood. An elder is sent to help, but his real mission is to rekindle an affair with another man, pushing all three of them into mortal danger. John Trengove's film has manifold scars of battles between old and new, urban and rural, gay and straight. It also has sensitivity and nuance, plus a superb cast of Xhosa men (many of them non-actors), not least Niza Jay Ncoyini as the rebel, and Nakhane Touré as his distracted protector.
