The film tells the story of both sides claiming the same land as their own. The Ndolilas family’s land was taken by the apartheid government in the 1970s without compensation, and ever since then they have been on a quest to get it back. Standing in their way are working class black homeowners who purchased portions of the Ndolila's land during apartheid. For the homeowners, the land and houses they have legally purchased are a reward for their hard work and the fulfillment of their hopes and dreams for a better life in the new democracy. For the Ndolilas, the land is part of their family legacy and hence deeply intertwined with their identity. Both sides have a legitimate right to the land, and the film encourages viewers to think about whose rights should prevail.

Les 12 hommes qui ont quitté Bloemfontein ont abandonné l’Afrique du Sud en 1960 pour faire prendre conscience à l’étranger de la réalité du Congrès national africain (ANC). Parmi eux se trouvait Benjamin Pule Leinaeng, le beau-père du réalisateur. À son enterrement à Bloemfontein, Harris découvre l’extrême courage de cet homme. Ce film est une acceptation posthume de la paternité de Leinaeng et un hommage aux douze hommes qui ont sacrifié leur propre vie pour la liberté de leur pays.
