A woman dies, and a husband remains with a promise, that gets passed on throughout the decades, while South Africa experiences violent and revolutionary changes. The family slowly crumbles, and the unkept promise is the bad taste that remains.

And not even when it's finally kept, you get much satisfaction from it, as it's too little too late.
