Shot in the sleepy Karoo hamlet of Prince Albert and reminiscent of Little Miss Sunshine and Hunt for the Wilder People, Liewe Kersfeesvader takes a hilarious peek into the life of young, feisty, reluctant beauty queen Nonnie (Mila Guy).\u00a0 When her mother (Milan Murray) abandons the family for a life in the circus, and her father (Morn\u00e9 Visser) assumes a new identity: Father Christmas, Nonnie is suddenly flung into adulthood.\u00a0 Juggling an unhinged father, an impressionable kid brother (Eloff Snyman) and a growing romance with her confidant Wouter (Dean-John Smith), Nonnie is forced to redefine her own definition of family.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiewe Kersfeesvader\u201d is an incredibly personal story to me\u201d, explains Etienne Fourie. \u201cIt deals with themes of family, the always-rocky transition from childhood to adulthood and, above all, love. It allows a glimpse into the lives of a typical, seemingly inconsequential family, that undergoes extraordinary challenges. Liewe Kersfeesvader is a story about choosing to love and accept your family, not despite but rather for their imperfections\u201d.<\/p>\n

Liewe Kersfeesvader is distributed by Times Media Films and opens at cinemas nationally on 17 November 2017.<\/p>\n
