Faan's Train (2014)

In the quaint, dusty confines of a small Karoo town, we find Faan (Willie Esterhuizen), a gentle soul with a simple mind, living in the company of his father and their housekeeper, Truia (Anel Alexander). Faan's life is woven with innocence and confusion, often rendering him an easy target for the taunts of local schoolboys, a torment that seems to escalate with each passing day. During one such cruel jest, Faan inadvertently stumbles into Beatrice (Nicola Hanekom), the aloof wife of the town's Doctor (Deon Lotz). A woman of Pretoria roots, Beatrice finds herself in this seemingly insignificant town, tethered by a clandestine secret she shares with her husband. This unexpected encounter sparks a peculiar fascination within Faan towards Beatrice, further fueled when he catches sight of her torn blouse. However, Beatrice, initially indifferent to Faan's existence, soon becomes intrigued upon discovering his ownership of priceless antiques, including an invaluable violin, handed down through generations. Thus begins her cunning scheme to acquire these treasures, skillfully exploiting Faan's naivety for her own gain. The plot delicately unravels, entwining the lives of these unconventional characters in a dance of manipulation, intrigue, and unexpected connections.
