Synopsis
Ingrid Jonker (Carice van Houten), a poet seeking love and belonging, struggles to find both amidst her controversial family background and South Africa's Apartheid regime. Her father is Minister of Censorship, making Ingrid's pursuit of artistic expression challenging. She finds love with men like Jack Cope (Liam Cunningham) and André Brink but cannot establish a permanent home with either due to various circumstances. Later, Nelson Mandela reads her poem 'The Dead Child of Nyanga' in his first speech to the South African Parliament, acknowledging Ingrid as one of the finest poets of South Africa.
