Description: One young man’s story is told through his voice and those of five other personalities: father, mother, lover, assailant and looker-on. Born and brought up in the small-town atmosphere of the Boland, his parents urge him to go to Cape Town, where the more accepting society will protect him from the hurtfulness of others – with tragic consequences.
