The Shadow of the Hummingbird

When Oupa is visited by his ten-year-old grandson (who is playing hooky from school) the two spend a memorable afternoon together. The boy reminds the old man of his lost sense of wonder while the child is given a bit of hard-earned wisdom. In a charming meditation on the beauty and transience of the world around us Fugard continues to mine the depths of the human spirit with profound empathy and heart.
