About Poena Is Koning
Poena is Koning follows the sexual awakening of Poena Pieterse and his high school buddy Vaatjie, who have decided that they have to lose their virginity by the time they finish school. But they've picked the worst moment to embark on their sexual escapade – it's matric exam time and their quest results in major distractions from their studies. The consequences are dire.
Directed by Willie Esterhuizen, Poena Is Koning leans on a strong ensemble — Robbie Wessels, Gerhard Odendaal, Perlé van Schalkwyk — 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 2007.
