A mad-cap Afrikaans comedy set in a small town on the platteland. The plot revolves around a dog, and a diamond, and the assorted people who would like very much to get their hands on that diamond.
Acting
Frank Opperman as Rommel Coetsee steals every scene he's in.
Writing
Classic platteland dialogue that somehow makes insults poetic.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film is pure 'platteland' Afrikaans cinema — a specific subgenre of rural South African comedy that peaked in the late 2000s.
Ivan Botha would later become a major force in Afrikaans rom-coms; this early role as Dolf shows his range for physical comedy.
