Nommer 37

This gritty local film has secured American distribution, which should be interesting. Set in the ganglands of Cape Town, our hero is a recently-crippled gangster who is now wheelchair-bound and cooped up in his apartment, with no one to support him except his devoted girlfriend. He is heavily indebted to his former gang-mate, a sociopathic loan shark. With no way of paying the money back, he despairs for himself and his girlfriend, until he witnesses a murder and decided to blackmail the killer. Things get more even complicated when a cop comes snooping around trying to solve the murder. The film is an extended version of a multi-award-winning short film of the same name. In Afrikaans language with English subtitles.
