A recreation of the decade-long love affair in the 18th century in a Cape Town penal colony on Robben Island. The two lovers were a Dutch
sailor imprisoned there for sodomy and a young Khoi herder. The Khoi
were part of the Hottentot tribal group and as such were the
untouchables of that time. The two were placed on trial and this love
affair and the legal battles are the grist of Greyson and Lewis' film
based partly on court transcripts from the time. In South Africa, during
the 1700s, sodomy was a crime deemed worse than murder, and the fact
that these two young men had indulged in it was also complicated by the
fact that this was an interracial love affair.
