Set towards the end of the Anglo-Boer war, this film examines the difficult choice that the Boer farmers faced once the British started implementing their concentration camps for the Boer families. When the Boers decide to make an example of some men, one of them appeals to General De la Rey, who decides to intervene on the night before the execution, resulting in a hectic all-night ride to get the message through. In Afrikaans language with English subtitles.

The strongest classifiable element in this film is the psychological violence characters experience due to the effects of war. Some scenes of execution are echos of a moderate nature. Non-sexual nudity, a woman's bare buttocks are briefly visible. Mild language is used infrequently.
