Thirty minutes of images of South Africa, its nature, people and cities, without comment, edited to the hypnotic music of the Cape Town-based musician Campbell Burns. Short and long shots, slowed down and accelerated, close-ups and vistas; collectively, they give a kaleidoscopic impression of this country, more than a decade after the official end of Apartheid.

On a rural estate live three brothers, a sister, and their blind, religious mother. Three of the siblings have epilepsy, the fourth and eldest, Augusto does not, and he's about to break away from the family: he's in love with Lucia and planning to move to the city. Augusto's sister Guilia tries to frustrate the lovers, while another brother, Alessandro, hatches a far-reaching plot to free himself of his mother's demands and other family responsibilities, to give Augusto the wherewithal to leave with Lucia, and, perhaps, to pursue incestuous impulses with his sister.
