South Africa, Free State region, isolated stronghold to the Afrikaans white ethnic minority culture. In this conservative farming territory obsessed with strength and masculinity, Janno is different, secretive, emotionally frail. One day his mother, fiercely religious, brings home Pieter, a hardened street orphan she wants to save, and asks Janno to makes this stranger into his brother. The two boys start a fight for power, heritage and parental love.
Afrique du Sud, Free State, bastion d’une communauté blanche isolée, les Afrikaners. Dans ce monde rural et conservateur où la force et la masculinité sont les maîtres-mots, Janno est un garçon à part, frêle et réservé. Un jour, sa mère, fervente chrétienne, ramène chez eux Pieter, un orphelin des rues qu'elle a décidé de sauver, et demande à Janno de l'accepter comme un frère. Les deux garçons engagent une lutte pour le pouvoir, l'héritage et l'amour parental.
