Ovee is the son of a wealthy vineyard owner and lives a life of luxury. His father, however, wants him to grow up and start working for the family business, threatening to cut off his allowance if he doesn’t. At the same time, Ovee meets Memo, who is training to become a doctor. He quickly realises that she has a strong dislike for rich playboys, so he keeps his true identity a secret. Ovee and his best friend travel to begin a trainee programme at his father’s company. To remain anonymous — both for Memo’s sake and because he wants to succeed on his own merits — Ovee convinces his friend that they should swap names, allowing Ovee to hide who he really is while starting from the bottom.
Fun to see a South African film. Even so, it doesn’t quite get there. It’s hard to become engaged in the story, as it ends up feeling a bit too much like a pastiche.
