One of best Afrikaans movie I ever seen. I love the cast, the direction. It is the movie that after watching the film "you feel like someone who was given the opportunity to discover something you that are not supposed to know."
Wesens is the best Afrikaans ever! I love the cast and the direction. It's a movie that after watching you feel like someone who was given the opportunity to discover something you are not supposed to know. I loved it sooo much!
