Summaries

An elderly lady, living in (literally) the middle of nowhere, and fed up with small minded apartheid ideology, starts escaping into her own world of sculpting in her back yard and along with her (coloured) assistant Malgas, creates a world of wonder in the desert. Based on a true story by playwright Athol Fugard with great performances all round.—CultGuy1
