Eye For Film >> Search >> 'A Family Affair'

When Tom Fassaert’s 95-year-old grandmother invites him to visit her in South Africa, all he knows about her are his father’s stories about the 1950s femme fatale who put her two sons in a children’s home. An unexpected confession makes things more complicated than he could have ever imagined.

A man tries to help his in-laws celebrate their wedding anniversary at his country hotel while fending off foreclosure.
