On the edges of Johannesburg, Tsotsi's life has no meaning beyond survival. One night, in desperation, Tsotsi steals a woman's car. But as he is driving off, he makes a shocking discovery in the backseat. In one moment, his life takes a sharp turn and leads him down an unexpected path to redemption, giving him hope for a future he never could have imagined.
