[Note Language Afrikaans with English Subtitles] - official selection of the South African Film Festival. Quicksilver, the vintage Ford Granada in Die Kwiksilwers, is not just any old car. For Elsabe Marais (Lida Botha), it is like a time capsule holding the memories of her late husband, with whom she regularly undertook adventures on the road. The headstrong Elsabe departs on a trip through the Karoo with three elderly friends to experience a meteor shower in Sutherland. The rest of the unlikely foursome are Anna (June van Merch), Elsabe’s nosey neighbour; the flamboyant Mienkie (Susanne Beyers) and the reserved Katie (Theresa Sedras). They have to make it to Sutherland in three days while trying to dodge Elsabe’s overprotective son Wikus (Jacques Bessenger). Jordy Sank, Gabriella Blumberg and Marista van Eeden, who collaborated on the screenplay, demonstrate with this film that old age is no reason to give up on life.
