The film explores the story of Ginn Fourie and Letlapa Mphahlele. In 1993, during the apartheid era, Letlapa, then director of operations for the military wing of the Pan-Africanist Congress, ordered reprisal massacres in response to the killing of black school children. Ginn lost her only daughter in one of these. She later forgave Letlapa.
