His girlfriend (Louis... read more read more...e Lombard) is close friends with Joseph (Ariyon Bakare), and when Steph returns home one day to find the two in bed together, he immediately thinks the worst (even though their relationship is entirely platonic).

    Well..roughly made movie from Africa?? Paul Bettany was the only reason why I watched this. The first half of the movie was unimpressive, but the last half completely made up for that. Of course, Paul was in the entire last half...that alone made the movie for me. The storyline i... read mores excellent, and the acting superb. They truly captured the pain of living in South Africa, and the toil it took on their emotional well-being.
