About Stuur Groete Aan Mannetjies Roux
A family drama on the dangers of sweeping years of truth under the carpet and hoping for the best. A teenage girl, Engela, visits the Karoo farm of her uncle Frans and aunt Koba during the school holidays. A journey of discovery starts: she has to find out who she really is and where she comes from. Three visitors in one week change her life forever and her uncle’s obsession with the rugby try by Mannetjies Roux is at last explained.
Directed by Paul Eilers, Stuur Groete Aan Mannetjies Roux leans on a strong ensemble — Anna-Mart van der Merwe, Ian Roberts, Lizelle de Klerk — 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 drama titles of 2013.
