Skaapboer

Harold Bruyns’ life takes an unexpected turn when he’s fired from the bank on the day of his promotion. Banned from the financial world, he reflects on the carefree days of his childhood spent on a farm with his grandfather. With a new determination, Harold takes a leap of faith and decides to farm with sheep in the heart of one of Joburg's suburbs. Battling all odds, he learns the true meaning of life, that a man's worth is not determined by his job title. When a shocking discovery reveals that he was set up by a banking colleague, Harold must decide between reclaiming his former life in the bank or embrace his new life as a farmer.

Directed by Valenté Bosch, Skaapboer leans on a strong ensemble — Keeno Lee Hector, Zoë Brown, Natalia Da Rocha — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2023.
