The Swart family's disconnection following their matriarch's death leads to a poignant exploration of their individual lives across South Africa. Each sibling grapples with personal struggles: Anton faces unfulfilled aspirations, Astrid wields her beauty as a strength, and Amor is burdened by guilt. Over three decades and four funerals, their reunion serves as a backdrop to reflect the broader themes of resentment, renewal, and hope within their country, highlighting the complexities of family ties and personal redemption.
