She has always believed that independence was the only form of freedom, until Sampie de Klerk (Francois Jacobs) came along and challenged her convictions on all levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my first movie and it still feels surreal. Working with Quentin Krog and other experienced actors has definitely been one of the highlights of my career. This heartfelt story addresses universal themes and I know that the public will fall in love with Irma and Sampie,\u201d says Simon\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been a great privilege to be part of such a huge project,\u201d Francois says. \u201cYou seldom get the opportunity to \u2018star\u2019 in the era in which your parents grew up! I think Huisgenoot got a great team together to tell this story. It was an absolute pleasure working with such talented people. This must-see film will appeal to a broad audience \u2013 young and old. People, who grew up in that era, will be able to revisit the past . . . and youngsters will be able to experience how things were done back in the \u2018old days\u2019. The movie will take you on a rollercoaster ride of love, hurt, happiness, disappointment and humour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vir Die Vo\u00ebls is set in the late 1970s and will make you feel nostalgic. It\u2019s a film about a strong, mature woman and an equally strong man who respects that woman enough to fight for her love. It\u2019s a story about inner conflict and preventing external circumstances and emotional baggage from getting in the way of future happiness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited about the audience that will be watching this movie,\u201d says Quentin Krog, director of the film. \u201cI\u2019m also excited about the idea of taking them back to another era; to make them laugh, cry and fall in love. To entertain them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vir Die Vo\u00ebls was produced, in associations with kykNET Films, by The Film Factory and the cast includes the likes of Elize Cawood, Nicola Hanekom, Neels van Jaarsveld, Drikus Volschenk, Leandry Smith, Liam Bosman, Lara Kinnear, Candice Kruger and Bennie Fourie. The movie will be released on 25 November 2016 and is distributed by Ster-Kinekor Entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Social Media Links:<br \/>\nFacebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/virdievoelsfilm\" target=\"_blank\">www.facebook.com\/virdievoelsfilm<\/a><br \/>\nTwitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/virdievoelsfilm\" target=\"_blank\">@VirDieVoelsFilm<\/a><br \/>\nInstagram: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/virdievoels\/\" target=\"_blank\">virdievoels<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huisgenoot, in association with kykNET Films, produced the romantic drama, Vir Die Vo\u00ebls, as part of their centenary celebrations in 2016.
