Synopsis

EVEN THE INNOCENT HOLD VIOLENCE IN THEIR HEARTS...A beautiful schoolgirl mysteriously disappears into the South African veld. Forty years later, thirteen members of the missing girl's swimming team gather at their old boarding school for a reunion, and look back to the long, dry weeks leading to Fiamma's disappearance. As teenage memories and emotions resurface, the women relive the horror of a long-buried secret. A stunning and singular tale of the passion and tribalism of adolescence, CRACKS lays bare the violence that lies in the heart of even the most innocent.
