A South African film-maker, now living in Australia, documents her mother's recovery from a brutal rape while at home in Johannesburg. While seeking answers to the inevitable'whys', she records her own feelings towards the country she grew up in and its pervasive climate of violence. After 14 years, her mother has yet to get over the assault, and to help heal those mental scars, the daughter ultimately hunts down the attacker with help from the police, memories and old photographs. A moving and eventually uplifting film that explores South Africa's most common crime and its devastating effects.
