**Cape
of Good Hope (Mark Bamford, South
Africa, 2004, 107 min., English, Afrikaans and Xhosa). Life is never simple in
post-apartheid South Africa, but today the challenges are personal instead of
political. "Cape of Good Hope" is the winning drama about the multicultural
staff of an animal-rescue shelter. The director desperately tries to sidestep
love until an unassuming vet walks into her life. Meanwhile her assistant, a
refugee with a doctorate in astronomy, must choose between a new career in
Canada or a family in a shantytown. "Heartfelt and funny, the film delivers a
moving portrait of modern South Africa." (Diane Toroian
