Family secrets run deep for Grace, a young girl growing up in Cape
Town during the 1980s. Her family secrets spill over into
adulthood, and threaten to ruin the respectable life she has built
for herself. When an old childhood friend emerges after
disappearing a decade earlier during a clash with apartheid riot
police in the Cape Flats, where South Africa’s coloured community
makes its home, Grace’s memories of her childhood come rushing
back, and she is confronted, once again, with the loss that has
shaped her. She has to face up to the truth or continue to live a
lie—but the choice is not straightforward. Unmaking Grace is an
intimate portrayal of violence, both personal and political, and
its legacy on one person’s life. It meditates on the long shadow
cast by personal trauma, showing the inter-generational imprint of
violence and loss on people’s lives.
