Synopsis
A few minutes of everyday life in the outskirts of a South African city. A black youngster naturally slips from the role of a victim to that of a torturer, from the search by the white police to circling a girl with a group of friends: the domino effect of the abuse of power in the public spaces of a society which is still dominated by racist and sexist dynamics.
