Beautiful in Beaufort-Wes plot

Beaufort-Wes is a town in the Great Karoo, the semi-desert between Cape Town and Johannesburg. One of its residents is the South African poet/songwriter Gert Vlok Nel. He was born in 1963, the year the apartheid regime enacted strict censorship laws and Nelson Mandela was jailed on Robben Island. Due to his media-shy attitude and his scarce but high-quality production, Vlok Nel has become a cult figure. Walter Stokman visited him in Beaufort-Wes, where he lives with his father, and made an atmospheric documentary full of melancholy texts, which are mainly about personal suffering. Pa Vlok Nel reads some of his son's poems. The choir of a white high school, accompanied by guitar, sings Vlok Nel's song Rivier.
