This movie is a simple-deadpanned-mundane Indie Comedy about a guy who grew up in Welkom the year the city turned 50 years old. He was in high school back then, on the road to Cape Town with big a dream and a bag of plans. Now 5 years later, barely trying to make ends meet in the Mother City roundabout the time of his high school reunion, he discovers that he is the father of a 5 year old girl back in his home town. It’s a coming of age story Rowen Smithbecoming a man and a father connecting with his about a boy daughter. It’s a movie for young, old, male, female, black & white.

It’s a movie for the everyday South African. It’s a story trapped in 1998, in the year Welkom turned 50.
