It's South Africa 1990. Two major events are about to happen: The release of Nelson Mandela and, more importantly, it's Spud Milton's first year at an elite boys only private boarding school. John Milton is a boy from an ordinary background who wins a scholarship to a private school in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. Surrounded by boys with nicknames like Gecko, Rambo, Rain Man and Mad Dog, Spud has his hands full trying to adapt to his new home. Along the way Spud takes his first tentative steps along the path to manhood. (The path it seems could be a rather long road). Spud is an only child. He is cursed with parents from well beyond the lunatic fringe and a senile granny. His dad is a fervent anti-communist who is paranoid that the family domestic worker is running a shebeen from her room at the back of the family home. His mom is a free spirit and a teenager's worst nightmare, whether it's shopping for Spud's underwear in the local supermarket

Spud is a heartwarming and hilarious coming-of-age story set in 1990s South Africa. Fourteen-year-old John Milton, nicknamed "Spud" due to his pre-pubescent appearance, navigates his first year at an elite all-boys boarding school. Surrounded by eccentric classmates with colorful nicknames like Gecko, Rambo, and Mad Dog, Spud struggles to fit in. He finds solace in his friendship with Mr. Edly, an alcoholic English teacher, and his crush on Debbie, a girl he nicknames "The Mermaid." Spud's journey is filled with hilarious misadventures, poignant moments, and valuable life lessons about loyalty, love, and personal growth. With a talented cast featuring Troye Sivan as Spud Milton and John Cleese as Mr. Edly ("The Guv"), this movie is a must-see for anyone who has ever been a teenager.
