In a South Africa torn by civil war, Michael K sets out to take his mother back to her rural home. On the way there she dies, leaving him alone in an anarchic world of brutal roving armies.

Life & Times of Michael K goes to the centre of human existence - the need for an interior, spiritual life and for purity of vision.
