A conclusion to Jon Bang Carlsen's South African trilogy, this audacious mix of fiction and documentary extends the religious theme of the first two films, Addicted to Solitude (1999) and Portrait of God (2001). Here South Africa's external reality forms the backdrop for an intriguingly staged plot.

When the filmmaker picks up a blind Danish actor at Cape Town airport, he explains that the actor will be playing a blind man who has returned to South Africa to realise his dream of paragliding off the top of a cliff.

The filmmaker will put him up in an apartment with a view of the ocean and the ominous face-shaped cliff he will make his launch pad. He is also introduced to the black domestic worker who will become his eyes.
