Indeed, a brilliant short film.

The Storekeeper, set in South Africa, is a brilliant short film depicting the lengths one storekeeper had to go to in order to keep his business safe from thieves. However, there are tragic consequences to his methods. I truly believe Gavin Hood did an astonishing job with this film.
