In a classroom outside of
Johannesburg, a teacher pressures a young student to have sex with him, telling
her that she’ll fail the class if she does not.
Not far away, in a living room late at night, a victim of domestic violence, afraid she’ll get beaten again, acquiesces to the drunken insistence of her husband and endures intercourse.
In a one-room house in Kwazulu Natal, a young man listens in confusion and anguish to the news that his sister has been raped. No one knows whether the rapist was HIV positive or not.
