Plot

In 2002, Johannes Kerkorrel, lead singer of the Gereformeerde Blues Band, has just committed suicide, and a group of friends gathers to celebrate his life and the end of an era. Flashbacks and voiceovers recreate the rise of the Voëlvry movement and the rebellion of young Afrikaans students in the buildup to the fall of the National Party and share the friends' confusion of being young and finding their places in the world.—Rhona Crawford
