Directed by Anthony Fabian in his first feature length film, tells the fictionalized version of the appalling true story about Sandra Laing, played by Sophie Okenado, a child born in South Africa in the 1950s to white Afrikaners unaware of their black ancestry. Sam Neill is the white father and Alice Krige is the white mother. They run a grocery store for blacks and their day to day lives are the embodiment of the essence of apartheid and the gulf and mistrust between white and black. The young Sandra Laing grew up believing she was white, her parents believed her to be white, imagine the upheaval of your world and feelings of loss of identity and belief in what you thought you knew about yourself, when Sandra is labeled black. Shunned by whites, she melts into the segregated shantytowns, takes up with a vegetable seller, Petrus (Tony Kgoroge). While she is eventually reclassified as white, she tries to stay black because of her love for Petrus and his family.
