Tsotsi

WAFS invites you this Sunday to see the screening of "Tsotsi", a film by Gavin Hood and based on the famous novel by Athol Fugard. This Oscar winning film treads on the topics of poverty, choice and redemption...

Synopsis:

Tsotsi is a poor young man living in a South African slum. Surviving by stealing and mugging, his existence comes to a turning point during a thieving expedition to the suburbs. As he tries to steal a car, a woman tries to stop him with little regard for her own life. In the struggle, he shoots her and drives off, only later to realise that the woman was not fighting for a possession, but for the little babe crying in the back seat...

Solaris

WAFS invites you this Sunday to see the screening of "Solaris", a science-fiction classic by Andrei Tarkovsky. Psychological and captivating, layered with meaning through and through, this blends pure cinematographic art and pure storytelling.

Synopsis:

A space station orbits the ocean-covered planet Solaris, an entity thought by some to be conscious. After contact is abruptly lost with the station, psychologist Kris Kelvin is sent to survey the station. He is welcomed by deserted corridors and silent halls; the few scientists aboard secluded in their own rooms, suffering from nervous breakdowns. Exhaused from his trip and contact with the demented men, he falls asleep only to wake up to find his wife, whose suicide still weighs heavy on his conscience, sleeping on the same bed...

Can love survive death? What does it mean to be human? What is reality and what is purely manufactured by our mind? Solaris will keep you wondering throughout.
