About For The Birds
Irma is a tomboy who believes independence is the only form of freedom. Then she meets Sampie, a charming rugby player with a heart of gold and oh-so-soft hands who sweeps her right off her feet to the altar, but not before she teaches him a thing or two.
Directed by Quentin Krog, For The Birds leans on a strong ensemble — Simoné Pretorius, Francois Jacobs, Elize Cawood — 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 romance titles of 2016.
