Grace

Family secrets run deep for Grace, a young girl growing up in Cape Town during the 1980s, spilling over into adulthood, and threatening to ruin the respectable life she has built for herself. When an old childhood friend reappears, Grace�s memories of her childhood come rushing back, and she is confronted, once again, with the loss that has shaped her. She has to face up to the truth or continue to live a lie � but the choice is not straightforward. Grace is an intimate portrayal of violence, both personal and political, and its legacy on one person�s life. It meditates on the long shadow cast by personal trauma, showing the intergenerational imprint of violence and loss on people�s lives.
