The Smell of Apples

In the white utopia of 1970’s Apartheid South Africa, a young boy’s summer holiday becomes a test of his love for his father.

In the insulated bubble of white Apartheid South Africa, Marnus, a sheltered 11-year old boy accuses the grandson of his family’s domestic worker of steeling his fishing rod. A brutal chain of events is set in motion, shattering the illusion of his family’s wholesome facade.
