A South African woman is diagnosed with HIV and deals with the fallout. Her husband, who works far away in the diamond mines of Johannesburg, beats her up when she gives him the news. Months later he shows up at her doorstep suffering the effects of the disease. She cares for him during his final days, despite being ostracized by the members of their village. Simple, moving story, with spectacular location shooting on the South African grasslands.
