Moffie Movie Summary Streaming Online
Storyline Moffie
Based on André Carl van der Merwe’s book, Moffie (a derogatory Afrikaans term for a gay man) follows the story of Nicholas van der Swart: from a very young age, he realises he is different. Try as he may, he cannot live up to the macho image expected of him by his family, by his heritage. At the age of 19 he is conscripted into the South African army and finds his every sensibility offended by a system close to its demise, and yet still in full force. Set during the South African border war against communism, this is a long overdue story about the emotional and physical suffering endured by countless young men.

A South African slang word meaning a guy who dresses and acts like a girl. It does not necessarily refer to all gay men but rather to those who display female tendencies i.e. drag queens and cross-dressers etc.
Other texts of relevance here might include Gerald Kraak's Ice in the Lungs (2006), Andre Carl van der Merwe's Moffie (2006) and Tatamkulu Afrika's Bitter Eden (2008), all of which focus on the forging of male bonds within the pressure-cooker of war.
Directed by Oliver Hermanus. With Matt Ashwell, Ludwig Baxter, Kai Luke Brummer, Mitchell Christy. Nicholas has long known he is different, that there is something shameful and unacceptable in him that must stay hidden, denied even.

‘Gest and Liza announced their intention to divorce, which was a shock to no one, least of all those who had long ago formed the opinion that Liza's third husband was an even bigger moffie than her first.’
To be a moffie is to be weak, effeminate, illegal. The year is 1981 and South Africa’s white minority government is embroiled in a conflict on the southern Angolan border. Like all white boys over the age of sixteen, Nicholas Van der Swart must complete two years of compulsory military service to defend the Apartheid regime.
moffie (plural moffies) (South Africa, derogatory, offensive) An effeminate homosexual man; faggot, fairy. 2005, Verenia Keet, Colored Hill, page 78: Sometimes, they admonished their children in mock-protest for following and making fun of the moffies.
Moffie by André Carl van der Merwe is such a book. And yes, I won't hide it caught my eye because of the cover. A young man in uniform; you don't really expect me not to pick that up and enquire further, do you? To get the negative out of the way, the flashbacks drive me nuts and, apart from one or two seem not nearly well motivated.
