South African Movie

Soekie is a family drama which focuses on the destructive effect of an impending divorce on family life. It is based on the book "Die Hele Dorp Weet" [translates to " The Whole Town Knows"] written by Santie Grosskopf.

During the 1960s the Afrikaans radio service of the South African Broadcasting Corporation presented a series on the adventures of a super secret agent, Staal Burger, a character created by the well-known SABC broadcaster Fanus Rautenbach. "STAAL BURGER" had an enormous following among listeners - the rich playboy with an eye for a pretty girl, his fast cars and his straight-punching way with the bad guys. Daan Retief, who played the role of Staal Burger in the radio series, reprises his role for the movie. He is assisted by Staal's sidekicks, Willem (Sarel Breed) and Dada (Miems de Bruyn).

In the aftermath of the South African War, Flip Lourens helps Daan le Roux against a vengeful gang led by Kurt Bester. They stand up against corruption and violence in a town where odds are stacked against them

Dr. Karel Beyers - whose marriage and practice are threatened by a subdued smearing campaign of gossip stories, phone calls and nameless letters - decide to take matters into his own hands.
