Summary Sidney Bloch is a Melbourne professor of psychiatry who grew up in apartheid South Africa. Troubled by his benefitting from the system despite his abhorring it, he travels back to Cape Town for a Medical School reunion with his son, Aaron. Conscious he did nothing to alieviate the suffering of those who were not white, Bloch is hoping to resolve his guilt and find reconciliation. The film explores how easy it is to accept injustice against others and compromise one's morals. Thought it's easy for any good person to become a bystander, it's not so easy to live with the consequences. This film shows Bloch's journey to forgiveness from his past life as a white South African absorbed in his own life by his attempting to reach out to redress past sins of omission
