- The story of the birth of Jesus is updated to that of a farm girl in the Karoo who gets pregnant and maintains that she is still a virgin. Although miraculous events accompany the birth of her child, people refuse to believe that she was impregnated by the Holy Spirit, and she seeks a new life among stronger believers. In Afrikaans language with English subtitles.
- The film considers the complex interplay between the individual psyche, the social fabric, and the arid land which sustains life in the Karoo. Local Prince Albert residents tell of divergent lives: of devotion to care-giving beyond the bounds of family; of the philosopher farmer's relationship with the land; of losing parts of oneself; and of friendship whilst at the mercy of a system that is failing.
- A teenage beauty queen is flung into swift adulthood when her father assumes a new identity: Father Christmas. Juggling a crazy father, an impressionable kid brother, and a growing romance, Nonnie must redefine her own meaning of family.
- Entertainer Nathan Kennedy, who speaks Gayle, the South African cant that flourished during the Apartheid era, meets Louis van Brakel, a much older user of the secret language, and interviews him on stage at the Showroom, Prince Albert.
