Barbara Hershey stars in this South African-set melodrama about a woman who returns to the mining town she left over a decade before. She's there to attend her daughter's funeral, but arrives too late, and focuses on trying to help pick up what is left of the young woman's family. However, the broken widower (Tony Kgoroge) and misguided son (Yusuf Davids) want her nothing to do with Hershey. She is prepared to leave when a sandstorm changes her life, and that of the entire decrepit town. "...a surreal combination of symbolism, New Age-ism...and striking visuals" (Variety).
