MultiChoice is commencing production on “My F*k, Marelize,” a feature film inspired by a viral video from Namibia. The announcement was made at this year’s Silwerskerm Film Festival in Cape Town.
The film, set in Windhoek, Namibia, is based on true events surrounding the Horn family. It follows Marelize Horn as she prepares to become an au pair in the Netherlands and her mother, Heidi Horn, as she handles a cancer diagnosis. The story unfolds against the backdrop of Wika, the annual Windhoek Carnival.
The project draws its title from a viral video in which Marelize’s mother uttered the now-iconic phrase after filming her daughter unintentionally cycling into a rugby goal post. “The words “my f*k, Marelize” [for f*cks sake, Marelize] has become a standard response to an embarrassing mistake or any epic public fail in South Africa and Namibia – always said with a touch of warmth and sympathy,” MultiChoice said.
