The time is the 1960s in South Africa - the granite years. A dreamy teenager lives in a large black township on the Highveld. He does not respond to ordinary lessons, but one day sees a film of Swan Lake, and watches in amazement these beings in white, as if from another planet, moving in time to the music. So begins a personal odyssey that takes the boy away from his township, out of his home country altogether, to a guerilla training camp in East Germany, then back into South Africa on a bombing raid. His is captured and put on trial. But through it all he carries with him his special dream of freedom which scandalises his friends and outrages his enemies - a vision of a magical place where anyone may become a swan and death itself is outdanced.
