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.
Directed by Daan Retief, Soekie leans on a strong ensemble — Erna van der Bergh, Petru Wessels, Dawid van der Walt — 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 screen titles of 1975.
