Beauty
2011, Afrikaans. Directed by Oliver Hermanus.
When desire becomes obsession.
François van Heerden, a mid-40s Afrikaans family man, has become devoid of any care or concern for his own measure of happiness, and so convinced of his ill-fated existence, that he is wholly unprepared when a chance encounter unravels his clean, controlled life.
