Storyline

JIMMY IN PIENK is a quirky comedy. Jimmy Bester, a rugged corn farmer lives out his creative impulses by shearing sheep on neighbouring farms. When Jimmy's father suddenly dies in a freak accident, he is confronted by two menacing and comedic loan sharks who've come to collect what his father owes them. For the first time in his life Jimmy gathers the courage to leave home and travels to Cape Town to seek help from his uncle in mastering the art of hairdressing and becoming a metro-sexual man, so he can win 100000 bucks and save his family's farm. Written by Anonymous
