In 1981 South Africa, a young man finds himself enveloped in an unavoidable obligation to serve the nation's military for two years as part of the country's compulsory conscription policy. This tumultuous period in his life is already fraught with challenges and dangers, as he navigates the brutal training regimes and racist attitudes that pervade the institution. However, there is another layer of secrecy that threatens to undo him: his own suppressed homosexuality. As the young man struggles to remain true to himself while enduring the harsh realities of military life, he must also keep his innermost desires hidden from those around him who would not hesitate to use this information against him. This poignant film offers a powerful portrayal of an individual's unwavering strength and resilience in the face of adversity and prejudice, set against the backdrop of South Africa during a turbulent period in its history.
