Catch Spud at Nelson Mandela Square

The South African film is releasing its third installment, Spud 3: Learning to fly, and celebrating by signing autographs for fans and taking selfies from 5pm to 6pm.

The movie is about Spud Milton who continues his diabolical stagger through adolescence. He learns one of life’s most important lessons: when dealing with women and cretins, nothing is ever quite as it seems.

The year is 1992 and, as always in South Africa, radical change is in the air. The country may be on the bumpy road to an uncomfortable redemption, but Spud Milton is hoping for a smooth ride as he returns to boarding school as a senior.

Instead, he discovers that his vindictive arch enemy is back to taunt him and that a garrulous Malawian has taken residence in his dormitory, along with the regular inmates and misfits he calls friends.

Spud’s world has never seemed less certain; he attempts to master Shakespeare, wrestles constantly with God and the power of negative thinking, and develops an aversion to fried fish after a shocking discovery about his grandmother, Wombat.

Spud 3: Learning to fly releases nationwide on 28 November.
