Synopsis: It's South Africa, 1990. Two major events are about to happen: The release of Nelson Mandela and, more importantly, it's Spud Milton's first year at an elite boys only private boarding school. John Milton is a boy from an ordinary background who wins a scholarship to a private school in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. Surrounded by boys with nicknames like Gecko, Rambo, Rain Man and Mad Dog, Spud has his hands full trying to adapt to his new home. Along the way Spud takes his first tentative steps along the path to manhood. (The path it seems could be a rather long road). Spud is an only child. He is cursed with parents from well beyond the lunatic fringe and a senile granny. His dad is a fervent anti-communist who is paranoid that the family domestic worker is running a shebeen from her room at the back of the family home. His mom is a free spirit and a teenager's worst nightmare, whether it's shopping for Spud's underwear in the local supermarket, or sneaking food into her handbag at sc

Marge and Denise from book club will

by! How do they come in?

- Remove barbed wire!

- So are we vulnerable to attack!

- From who?!

- Communists!

Maybe the school is not so bad.

Dad was mad. He says that

we will live in poverty.

He fired Innocence.

He thinks she is a terrorist.

Is it really to live in poverty?

And then I saw her.

- There for a lightning bolt through my body.

- This is Marge's daughter, Debbie.

She said a single word, which almost

knocked me over with its beauty.

I promised Debs,

that she could swim in your pool.

Jump in, Johnny, it's hot.

I'm in love with a mermaid.

- I'm really sorry.

- Forget it!

Next!

Think about what you love most,

so overcomes you pain.

Next!

Bend forward.

Jacket.

It's going to hurt.

Kiss me, John.

If we is destined to die, it is

enough to constitute a loss to the country

And if life's undes, the fewer men,

the greater part of the credit

We few, we happy few, we brothers all

For he who today share his blood with

me shall be my brother

Would you repeat that, sir?

Come on, Johnny!

That's my boy!

Do not play smart.

Two rim if you gramser,

five if you take her on breast-

- And ten, if you touch her

the most holy place.

- It costs five to be with.

- I'm with.

I save the worst for last ...

Stand up, Milton.

This young man is a good example

on what women crave.

He is the only one of you fools-

- Who has scored more

than 50% of the job.

You can sit down.

I had to write about influence

in modern literature.

Is this it best you baboons

For the?

Dumped. Not one of you came in.

the greatest influence of all.

If it were not for sex, adultery-

- Fornication, korpulering and knalderi-

- There would never have been

written a single book.

- But what about the Bible?

- Good question.

Milton! Bible ...

Clean or sexy?

Grandma says that it is full of sodomy

and incest, and should be banned for children.

Exactly!

Well, I puberty monkeys.

Auf Wiedersehen!

- John ...

- Yes, sir?

Welcome to Paradise Lost.

Your grandmother sounds to be

an interesting slut.

Yes, sir. She is potty. She calls

me David, and we call her Wombat.

My whole family

is actually quite crazy.

So I have the perfect book for you.

It is not really a book,

it's a play.

It's called "The absurd drama".

- Thank you, sir.

- Do not thank me, just read it!

So can you tell us what you think.

I think it is fantastic.

- Get out now, there is lunch.

- Yes, sir.

I hoped that the play would

act on how scores.

But it is about two tramps,

living in a ditch.

They are waiting for a man,

named Godot.

But he never arrived.

It's creepy strange.

SCHOOL game becomes "OLIVER

TWIST. "TEST TOMORROW

This is it.

Robert de Niro, beware!

- Are you satisfied, John?

- Yes, ma'am.

You can call me "Marion".

Who is the

happiest old idiot in the world?

- Now you have no more wine!

- Last glasses, I promise.

Relax, you're stiff as a stick.

Drink a little wine.

- I have not.

- Nonsense. What do you think?

- About what?

- Drama.

I do not know.

Oh, Johnno ...

I guess I do not have to yell at you?

Tell Just.

- Nothing happens.

- Exactly.

It's like life.

We are waiting for something to happen,

but it does not.

And what are we waiting for?

God? The meaning of life?

Death?

Perhaps we are waiting to become adults.

But it will never be.

Wise words, young man.

Let's drink to it.

Why is it absurd?

The sound normal.

We are sitting here surrounded

of a kind of fantasy world.

The actual absurd is that most

not seem to notice it.

- The school is the most absurd world.

- And I've taught here for 27 years.

An absurd vagrant in a ditch ...

... The wayside.

My mother believes that God's greatest gift

to humanity's freedom of choice.

It is not something

one should take lightly.

This is undoubtedly

the best book that is written.

It is proof

that God indeed exists.

These are strong words

from a devout atheist.

To be or not,

this is the case.

Is it a nobler mind that withstands

the wild fate arrows shot ...

John ... You must display home now.

Arrows Target ...

- What is it, honey?

- An end, we sincerely may desire.

Pathetic! Next!

- Well, Milton, what would you sing?

- Amazing Grace.

Thank you! Next!

Thank you, Milton.

I feel just like Hobbit

- small and lonely.

Just less hairy.

HOLIDAY:

holidays. All that before made me

happy does not mean anything anymore.

I needed a plan,

but could not find anything.

Innocence is back.

She pulled father in law.

- I told you.

- Now she sits in power.

Ask them there.

Wombat to eat lunch with us.

Father says she is a part of satan.

She is a part of satan!

It's eleven.

You can not be there all day.

Have not you got yourself some friends,

you can invite over?

I ask Debbie,

if she wants to and baths.

Hey.

Was it really wise to let

mermaid meet my family?

Get now not busted b*tch thick.

David is such a pretty boy.

Thank God he looks like not his father.

I do not understand,

why you married him.

He looks like scrambled eggs in the face.

What are you doing?

I was sure that the mermaid

would never see us again.

What is it that is so funny?

I talked about school

and the crazy eight.

She laughed really very

I just had to kiss her. So

I could tell the others.

Now it's confirmed.

Spud Milton has no balls.

SECOND SEMESTER:

must change to.

This semester,

where Spud Milton enters into character.

I had to give Gekko a

gift. It is a tradition at the school.

I helped

making fun of barrel.

I joined

African company.

I'm embarrassed to be white. After

school I will be freedom fighter.

Do not be silly. When you have gone out

of school, the battle ended long ago.

Thank you, Milton.

We need more of your casting.

I think I prefer black now.

Dad would probably call me

a damn communist.

I will sing again.

Although music teacher

has written new songs.

The role of Oliver Twist

be played by John Milton.

Congratulations.

Spud, the boys and I just

to congratulate you ... birthday.

I was born 14 years ago.

in minutes.

it was my mother who had

endure the pain and the bright light.

Now it at least over.

Are you okay?

I am going to run with tight

reins tighter than nun p*ssy.

This is not

a piece of cotton wool school theater.

This paragraph should be as well,

that it can be carried anywhere.

I require creativity!

Try it, Milton.

Yes, exactly!

- It did not start too well.

- Stop, stop, stop!

Mr. Richardson - "Viking".

Last year he had a heart attack

in "Pirates of Penzance".

chief plays Fagin. But he fills

his hip flask with real whiskey.

Eva plays the prostitutes Nancy.

Everyone hopes that she will be dressed

out like a real whore.

Gekko was assistant ...

He is probably the infirmary

rest of their lives.

Glock player Sykes, psychopath.

Talk about the right for the role.

- Are you okay?

Very convincing.

- If you say anything, I'll kill you.

- About what?
