Description
David Lurie, a middle-aged man twice divorced, has an impulsive affair with a student, leading to a souring of the relationship. He is summoned before a committee of inquiry and, unwilling to repent publicly, resigns and retreats to his daughter Lucy's isolated smallholding. For a time, the natural rhythms of the farm and his daughter's influence bring a semblance of harmony to his discordant life. However, a savage and disturbing attack on him and his daughter highlights the faultlines in their relationship and the shifting balance of power in the country.
