This personal account of a white woman and a black man growing up within militarized South Africa, began in 1994 when South Africa elected their first democratic government. Both were fighters in the intelligence service of the African National Congress (ANC) against the Apartheid government. The film examines the personal lives and motivations of these two members of the underground, and of their struggle to maintain their goals and idealon the dark side of a military conflict. Their lives are spent in camouflage being cut off from normal society. Their self-discipline so rigid that it threatens to destroy spontaneity. In the attitudes and experiences of these two people, and of those around them, a picture emerges of humanity and bravery, of dedication and sacrifice, detailing the central story of the struggle for freedom in South Africa.
