Frankie meets his dad in Woodstock, Cape Town, where he has carved out a new life for himself over the past few years. With Frank, always unable to sit still, there's also a visit to the set of a new series.
Frank
Frank Opperman is a chameleon who was just as convincing as the tormented reverend in Dominee Tienie as he was as the bumbling mechanic Ouboet in Orkney snork nie. His portrayal of these beloved characters has made him a national treasure. Frank doesn't just play a role - he becomes the character. Now, Frankie Opperman, director and Frank's son, has made an intimate documentary series about his father.

father and son take the road to Johannesburg. On the way north, they pop in on colleagues and friends, and they make a detour to the nearly forgotten Oppermansdorp, halfway between nothing and nowhere in the Free State. Upon their arrival in Gauteng, visits to family, friends and co-workers follow, and then it's time for the final big pack-up in Melville, where Frank lived for more than 20 years. Among boxes and boxes of archive material, Frank takes stock of his life.
