In the Karoo-like landscape of a mythical country beset with civil war, tarot cards are brandished and bones swiftly turn to dust. Against the backdrop of this arid place, Kitty Cloete, the inkeeper's wife, survives on her inner resources.

'A Quilt of Dreams' is a story of two people whose lives cross without them ever knowing each other - one a heavy-drinking white man and the other the young daughter of a black activist. This tale captures the harsh and brutal realities of South Africa's past with its raw and sore racism, interlacing them with hope.
