This recently restored 1975 film is a joy to watch. It gives us a glimpse of a typical teener's life and the usual adventures he does with his friends. Trompie may be a little overly naughty and can really be a pain for his parents but it also mirrors a phase of a kid's life that's carefree and complete with illusionary and make-believe games of war and other usual boy stuff. The actor who portrays Trompie, Andre Laubscher, was outstanding in his acting performance and at present is now a medical doctor by profession. The TV series of which the film is based from is a well-loved and well-followed show by local Africans in the '70s. Hilarious and with a youthful vibe!
