Die Wunde (2017)
Xolani ist ein vereinsamter Fabrikarbeiter. Einmal pro Jahr reist er in die Berge, um ein Initiationsritual mit jungen Männern durchzuführen. Einer dieser Männer ist der homosexuelle Kwanda aus Johannesburg. Dessen Vater bittet Xolani, mit seinem Sohn besonders streng zu sein. Seine Mutter habe ihn zu sehr verwöhnt. Als Erstes werden die jungen Männer in der Gruppe beschnitten. Das Ritual ist unzimperlich – schliesslich sollen die Jugendlichen nun zu Männern werden und den Schmerz wie solche ertragen.
Der Regisseur: John Trengove
