Her son becomes the acolyte of Jean Claude, a refugee from Congo with a Ph.D. in astronomy; he's the shelter's handyman, good with people and dogs, hoping to immigrate to Canada. Shairfa, who also works at the shelter, and her husband Habib are trying without success to get pregnant. What is it that holds the matter of the universe together? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Outstanding movie, first of many not to deal with Apartheid
12 November 2005 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I was at the NY premier last night at the Angelika Theater, and they sold out the first two showings. From an independent film set in a location like South Africa, dealing with issues not usually dealt with in mainstream cinema, it had an amazing turn out. The director and producer (husband and wife) were there for the premier and had a question and answer session. They were joined by two of the leading actors from the movie, who provided insight into how well the filimg was received in Cape Town. For anyone who seeks an honest look at South Africa today, and wants a brilliantly conceived and produced movie, I highly suggest Cape of Good Hope.
