Похититель костей
Titus
В южноафриканской пустыне Намибии таинственным образом исчезла группа из нескольких человек. Из Канады приезжает ученый Зак Стрэкер, который должен отправиться на поиски пропавших вместе с отрядом спецназовцев. Поиски подтвердили факт случившейся трагедии. Однако, хотя тела пропавших нашли, их в то же время как бы и не нашли. Потому что найдены были лишь кучки костей, остатки скелетов, без единого признака человеческой плоти на них. Отряд спецназовцев начал продвигаться в глубь пустыни, но чем дальше бойцы шли, тем быстрее росло число трупов, и от всех погибших оставались одни лишь только кости.
Fools
Professor Zamani Vuthela
Charterston Township 1990. Professor Zamani is respected in the township. To be sure, he once raped one of his students but the community turned a blind eye. Zamani used to rail against the apartheid system but those days are long gone. Now he teaches South African history in the Afrikaner language and grudgingly organizes the picnic for National Day, which commemorates the Boers' massacre of the Zulu nation... When Zani, the rape victim's brother, returns from Swaziland where he won a place in school, he is determined to change everything. In the small hours, in the waiting room at Johannesburg station, he runs into Prof. Zamani, who's spent the night on the town. They travel back together to the harsh reality of the township. In due course, Zamani regains some of his pride and Zani, inevitably, loses some of his...under the gaze of the women, who never renounced their dignity.
