Confession may be good for the soul, it can be very bad for your health. A gloomy thriller, and an emotional masterpiece.
An unknown man arrives in the windswept town of Paternoster on the South African Atlantic West Coast.  Stranded in the dark mire of a secret past, the mystery of who the man is, why his presence is feared, and what purpose he brings to the town, all combine to make a faceted elegiac and moving film of betrayal, resolution and revenge.

Granted amnesty for crimes committed in the past ex-South African cop Tertius Coetzee still feels shackled by the sheer weight of his sins.
