What happens

Nul is nie niks nie (English: Zero is not nothing) is an Afrikaans film released on 7 July 2017. The movie is based on the book "Oor 'n motorfiets, 'n zombiefliek en lang getalle wat deur elf gedeel kan word" (English: "About a motorcycle, a zombie movie and long numbers that can be divided by eleven") by Jaco Jacobs. The book was one of three finalists in the film category of the kykNET/Rapport book prize, after which the producers conducted nationwide auditions to find child actors for the main characters. Lize Vosloo wrote the screenplay and Morné du Toit directed. The film is a family drama subtitled The Sum total of Hope. It has an age restriction guide of PG 7 to 9. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
