Im Glanz der Sonne (1992)
P. K. wächst als Engländer in Südafrika auf und bekommt dort schon früh die Auswirkungen des Rassismus zu spüren. Nach dem Tod seiner Eltern nimmt ihn der deutsche Professor von Vollensteen unter seine Fittiche. Zu Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges weigert sich dieser, sich als Ausländer zu melden, und wird deshalb ins Gefängnis gesteckt. P. K. besucht seinen Ziehvater dort und lernt so den schwarzen Gefangenen Geel Piet kennen, der ihm das Boxen beibringt. Als der Krieg vorbei ist, geht P. K. wieder zur Schule und hält dort am Boxsport fest. Bei einem seiner Kämpfe trifft er Maria in die er sich verliebt. Ihr Vater ist als Führer der Nationalistischen Partei Südafrikas von dieser Verbindung allerdings wenig begeistert. Dennoch kann P. K. Maria dazu überreden, mit ihm und seinem Freund Guideon die Afrikaner der Townships in Englisch zu unterrichten. Bei einem der heimlichen Treffen kommt es jedoch zu einer Katastrophe...
