It Might Get Loud 

After a disturbing phone call, Karl Hofmeyr departs for Cape Town to help his brother, Iggy, who is apparently running amok. Karl – hard-core heavy metal fan – valiantly contends with inner demons as well as outer obstacles.
Meanwhile Maria Volschenk embarks on a journey to understand her sister’s search for enlightenment . . . and her subsequent death.
These two narratives converge on a highly unconventional city farm.
