Paljas was released in 1997. It's audience rating is N/A and it runs for 119 min. A Drama movie, it was written by Chris Barnard, directed by Katinka Heyns; starring Marius Weyers, Aletta Bezuidenhout, Ian Roberts. The greatest feature to emerge thus far from South Africa (since 1994) is Katinka Heyns's Paljas. The narrative occurs in the 1960s, when poverty amongst Afrikaners was a serious problem and the South African Railway a key mechanism in Afrikaner affirmative action. This excellent Afrikaans language drama follows the deterioration of an Afrikaner family isolated and shunned in the small community of Toorwater. Nothing seems to happen. Then a circus train loses its way and comes to rest in Toorwater, and a mysterious clown brings fresh magic to the stagnating family, but he also poses a threat to the rest of the community. Heyns brilliantly succeeds in creating a metaphor for the Afrikaner family's turbulent emotional, cultural and ideological journey from the darkness of apartheid back into the light of post-apartheid reconciliation (famililial, cultural and political).. Paljas was first released in South Africa and has grossed N/A at the BoxOffice Worldwide. It is available in the Afrikaans language(s). If you liked Paljas, you will enjoy similar Drama movies like Die Stropers, Lipstiek Dipstiek, Poena Is Koning, Orkney Snork Nie (Die Movie), House of the Living Dead, .
