Diretto dal sudafricano di origine greca Etienne Kallos (ma il film è il saggio finale del corso di cinema alla New York University, e il regista è già passato per Cannes, Berlino e il Sundance), il teatro è una famiglia di allevatori afrikaaners, nella quale i due figli si troveranno a perpetuare - attraverso l'omicidio - gli stessi abusi e gli stessi arbitrii ai quali avevano tentato solidalmente di ribellarsi.
