• Plot: Poetry, politics, madness, and desire collide in the true story of the woman hailed as South Africa's finest poet. In 1960s Cape Town, as Apartheid steals the expressive rights of blacks and whites alike, young Ingrid Jonker (Carice van Houten, Valkyrie, Black Book) finds her freedom scrawling verse while frittering through a series of stormy affairs.
