Mr Johnson (2020)
David Johnson awakes from a 47-year coma at the age of 73. While he has a hard time accepting his old body and the fact that he has lost more than half of his life, he quickly makes up for lost time.
Winner of three international awards, Mr Johnson co-stars the legendary Paul Slabolepszy and double SAFTA winner Jana Cilliers (Die Boekklub), opposite the likes of Frank Rautenbach (Faith Like Potatoes), Sisanda Henna (Trackers) and Graham Hopkins.
