“The foreigner” describes the relationship between an immigrant street vendor and a homeless child. It is also a striking and moving description of xenophobia in modern South Africa. The story tells of the relationship between the foreigner Koffi and young Vusi that develops in spite of the hostility and aggression directed towards the foreigner. The film expresses both warmth and the brutality of racial hatred.
