Athol Fugard

A poignant coming of age story and exploration of a friendship between a young white boy, and the two adult black men he has grown up around, against the backdrop of the oppressive, divisive apartheid laws of the time. Although society dictates their education are worlds apart, Sam has helped guide Hally from boy to manhood, educating him about the realities and injustices of the world, while Hally in turn teaches Sam what he has learnt at school. Their friendship has taken on an almost fatherly role for Hally, as he struggles with the strained relationship with his alcoholic father. During their debates and reminiscing on the rainy afternoon, Sam and Willy talk about their dreams of winning a ball room competition—their 'world without collisions'—a metaphor for their aspirations and yearning to create a better life for themselves. The peace is broken with the news Hally's drunken father is returning home, unleashing an anger in Hally that leads to an unprecedented bigoted outburst.

En uno de los barrios más miserables de Johannesburgo (Sudáfrica), Tsotsi, un chaval de 19 años, ha borrado todos sus recuerdos, incluyendo su nombre real. Tsotsi significa "matón" o "gangster" en el argot callejero del guetto. Huérfano desde muy pequeño y obligado a salir adelante por sus propios medios, Tsotsi ha llevado una vida de privaciones extremas, tanto físicas como psíquicas. Tiene escasa conciencia de los sentimientos de los demás y se ha endurecido borrando cualquier sentido de la compasión. Gobernado por el impulso y el instinto, le mueve el miedo que inspira a otros. Sin nombre, sin pasado, sin ningún plan para el futuro, en un presente lleno de rabia, Tsotsi lidera su propio grupo de marginados sociales... (FILMAFFINITY)
