Roepman

This Afrikaans film is based on a Jan van Tonder novel with the same title. Set in the turbulent South African 60s it tells the story of an awkward young boy, Timus, and his coming of age. Added to the mix is an unlikely friend, Joon, who ends up becoming a hero to the whole community. A well-filmed and touching local production that will appeal to the whole family.

Rating: 3 outta 5.
