Storyline:
Henk Opperman, a psychologist coping with the emotional aftermath of losing his wife in a tragic car accident, struggles to connect with his son Renier, who masks his emotions behind anger and denial. During Nicolene’s funeral, Henk confesses to leaking the Matric Math Paper to Barberton in 1990. An investigation leads to an ultimatum: retake the exam in Barberton or forfeit academic records. Henk and Renier reconcile as Renier tutors him, joined by Henk’s eccentric father and Renier’s friends. Tensions rise with Henk’s classmates, culminating in a pivotal moment where Henk must choose between reconciling with his son and saving his career.
