Set in an all-white Transvaal boarding school in apartheid South Africa, Childish Things recalls the antiquated fantasy lived by most Dutch Afrikaners in the 1970s. Mart and Dalena are roommates on the verge of womanhood. Simon, Mart's brother, and Pierre are friends with vastly different political beliefs that become apparent as they prepare for military service at the border of South-West Africa and Angola. As the illusions of the Afrikaner way of life begin to disintegrate, the four struggle with the prospects of imminent adulthood, while coming to grips with the impending upheaval of their blissfully ignorant existence.
