other title: A cielo abierto / La Faille
This thriller investigates the mysterious assassination of a gay pastor in rural South Africa. Without witnesses or explanations, the crime appears to the police and others as a jigsaw puzzle without enough pieces. The police then suspect and arrest people based on the usual prejudices, black and coloured people who plant marijuana in this case. Meanwhile, the true assassin not only goes his way unpunished from the very beginning, but becomes one of the rural town's most respected citizens. The sheriff at one point does begin having certain suspicions, and from there on the bulk of the plot is played out. The location is a very arid part of South Africa, so with so much desert rock, there are bound to be quarries. Some may reveal important secrets.

你能坐视自己的儿子以绝食方式抗议至死吗?或者,你选择违背他的理想,拯救他危在旦夕的性命?本片是根据真人实事所改编而成的电影。故事是发生在1981年的英国,两名北爱尔兰青年因为一次预谋的抗争,不慎杀死一名英国士兵而遭逮捕。在苦牢内结识了共和军头目鲍比山德斯,有志一同,便决定集体发起绝食抗议行动,来抵制当时主政的柴契尔夫人。凯萨琳和安妮是这两个年青人的母亲,在先前毫无预警的状况下,亲生儿子被英国军人强行带走:到处奔走,只求儿子能平安返家,内心的痛苦无以言喻。不料,鲍比山德斯却先行成仁,眼见爱子为了完成志愿一天天的憔悴而至昏迷··· 《因父之名》的编导原班人马再度合作,以八一年制造了不少烈士的监狱大绝食为高潮,却把北爱冲突从街头带回了家中。传统上只配在背景为战士打气和哭泣的母亲,成了主动出击的主角。编导的政治立场毫不含糊,却胜在始终以人为本;章法严谨,剧力万钧。
