1991: Nelson Mandela is released, and apartheid is abolished. On April 27th, the first free elections for all South Africans are organised. Three filmmakers follow this amazing event in ex-Bophutatswana, inside a hostel which is an Inkhata party base, in a garment factory where black and half-caste women work together, in a small country school for black farm laborers' children, and at the sides of young Fodo, the ANC's unequivocal spokesman in Kagiso Township. A privileged look at the intense emotion raised by this historical vote.
