When the womanizing and absent father, Martin Keller, sees his financial and professional universe collapse, he is also confronted with the equally fragile nature of his marital life. His wife, Joann, is a housewife who struggles to have her artistic talent recognized. In the meantime, her teenage son reacts in a rebellious way to his father\u0027s absence by deciding to \u0022come out of the closet\u0022 and take the \u0027father\u0027s chair\u0027. The unexpected arrival of an enigmatic uncle of Martin, Bill Keller, rekindles the hope of mending the conflicting expectations of the family triangle. The sensitive and experienced Bill, however, has its own understanding of each character\u0027s real needs and orchestrate, in his own way, an unexpected outcome. Amidst a contemporary and universal family plot, the story unfolds historical and cultural constraints rooted in the Namibian society, such as the genocide of the Herero people perpetrated by the German colonial empire, as well as highlights the importance of reconciliation.","wins":0,"nominations":null,"casts":[{"name":"Damien Schutz","code":"nm10592820","characters":"Louis Keller"},{"name":"Jan-Baren Scheepers","code":"nm10592821","characters":"Martin Keller"},{"name":"Dan Stevenson","code":"nm10592822","characters":"Bill Keller"},{"name":"Roya Diehl","code":"nm10226640","characters":"Joann Keller"},{"name":"Armas Shivute","code":"nm3936613","characters":"Michael Strydom"},{"name":"Jd Januarie","code":"nm10222122","characters":"Karen De Vries"},{"name":"Arnold Katjinamunene","code":"nm13656111","characters":"Herero Runaway"},{"name":"Lara-Lyn Ahrens","code":"nm4282772","characters":"Linda De Vries"},{"name":"Chops Tshoopara","code":"nm5644630","characters":"George De Vries"},{"name":"David Nanub","code":"nm10592823","characters":"Maurice Auala"},{"name":"Luciana Pacheco","code":"nm3021873","characters":"Claudia Winter"}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":null,"keywords":[],"production":[],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[]}
