Both a personal tale of mistakes and a political statement on post-Apartheid South Africa, David Lurie has an affair with one of his students. This tumbles quickly out of his control and he retreats to stay with his daughter in the countriside at her farm. After a brutal attack on himself and his daughter by three black men, David reconsiders his life, South Africa and everything.
