Plot

1980s South African action comedy shot mostly in Afrikaans, one of South Africa's 11 indigenous languages. The main character, played by Arnold Vosloo, is a spoilt young man from a rich family, just finished with school, and conscripted to two years' army service, as most defensible young men were forced to do in the '80s. The movie revolves around the young rebel's anti-establishment antics in frustrating his superiors, trying to avoid military service with his new-found comrades-at-arms, and charming an inquisitive spiky-haired reporter (Janie du Plessis).
