Oom Henk (2012)

In the gritty underbelly of the city, Koen, a sharp-witted and attractive final-year law student, finds himself in a precarious predicament with local thugs. In an inspired act of self-preservation, Koen alleges that he is a kin to the notorious crime lord, Henk de Koning. This cunning ploy saves Koen from a brutal ordeal, yet it pulls him into the vortex of criminality that is Henk's world. Just when Koen thinks he's dodged a bullet, 'Uncle' Henk appears at his doorstep, charmed by Koen's quick thinking and drawing him into a tangled web of crime and loyalty. Henk enlists his newfound 'cousin' to unearth a hidden treasure stashed away by his disloyal associate, Sjon de Nooyer. Now released from prison and taking respite in a retirement home, Sjon becomes the target of Koen's coerced espionage. Koen, now entangled in this perilous underworld, finds himself playing the role of a distant relative and a volunteer orderly. All the while, he's trapped in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the corrupt police detective, Uitenhaage, who is also hot on the trail of the same elusive treasure. With Koen's innocence hanging by a thread, he realizes that escaping the clutches of 'Uncle' Henk is a task much easier said than done. In this gripping narrative of survival and deception, Oom Henk (2012) explores the dangerous dance between crime, law, and the desperate measures one man takes to keep his head above water in a sea of chaos and uncertainty.
