It's 1990 in South Africa and poor young Spud Milton's off to his first year at an elite boading school in this coming-of-age comedy, based on the novel by John van de Ruit.
With his lunatic parents fearing Mandela's release will lead to communist rule, Spud is initially glad to leave home for the safety of the private school in Kwazula-Natal. But surrounded by well-to-do boys with nicknames like Gecko, Rambo, Rain Man and Mad Dog, Spud struggles to adapt to his new home. He seeks advice - in all matters, including sex - from his eccentric, alcoholic English teacher: The Guv (John Cleese).
