Five Fingers Of Marseilles is shot during apartheid South Africa in
the community of Railway, attached to the remote town of
Marseilles, where the residents are the victims of brutal police
oppression and only the young ‘Five Fingers’ are willing to stand
up to them.
Their battle is heartfelt but innocent, until hot-headed Tau kills
two policemen in an act of passion.
He flees, leaving his brothers and friends behind, but his action
has triggered a violent fight that will leave both Marseilles and
the Five Fingers changed.
Twenty years later, Tau is released from prison, now a feared and
brutal outlaw, ‘The Lion of Marseilles’.
But scarred and empty, he renounces violence and returns to
Marseilles desiring only peace and to reconnect with those he left
behind.
