July's people

When civil war erupts in South Africa, a white couple, the Smales, are forced to seek refuge in the remote village of their former Black servant, July. This sudden reversal of power dynamics upends their established relationships and forces them to confront uncomfortable truths about race, class, and their own identities. As they navigate this new, precarious existence, the lines between master and servant blur, leading to a profound re-evaluation of their lives.
