Raja (Raghava Lawrence), a native of Coutrallam, is a happy-go-lucky-youngster. Tragedy strike his life when his father loses his hand when a doctor in an inebriated condition operates on him. As expected his father is gagged by cops and lawyers. They assault him. In his death bed, his father gets a promise that he would make his three brothers into a cop, lawyer and doctor. Though Raja realises his mission, he falls for his own acts. The trio (who become doctor, policeman and a lawyer) gang up with a baddie Shyla (Mumtaj), a gangster, who rises to become a Minister. It is up to Raja to end their atrocities and teach them a lesson.

Smooth, successful, and yet so conflicted, Tony Nkosi is trying to work through his inner turmoil where cultural and familial expectations conflict with emotional and physical needs. He tells his shrink, Dr Stacey, that he doesn’t date men, and yet he can neither let his shag-buddy Thabo go nor give him the emotional commitment he needs.

At the occasion of a tribute to the Belgian Cinémathèque Royale, this film displays a striking poetic and philosophical mediation on cinematographic images.

Film from Silvia Haselbeck and Erich Langjahr
