Daar doer in die bosveld (transl. Far Away in the Bushveld) is an Afrikaans language film and the first film by the South African director Jamie Uys, who directs, writes, produces, edits and stars. His wife Hettie Uys plays the romantic interest. It was originally released in 1951.[1]
Plot
Somewhere in the bushveld, Hans Botha is doing the usual farm rounds when his friend and neighbour comes around with an urgent request: please collect the new teacher at the bus stop. The shy Hans is alarmed because he doesn't know how to talk to women but is eventually convinced, setting off in his old jalopy with no brakes. After picking up Martie, he accidentally allows the car to run off and it dumps her in the river. By the time Hans says goodbye, Martie is angry but he is lovestruck.[2]
