A synposis, with more detail on the cast: This series of 10 episodes revolves around the trials and tribulations of Mart Vermaak. The disillusionment of her coming-of-age years takes place against the political upheavals of the late 1970s, but an older Mart finds herself in a different kind of predicament. In the novel Die dinge van ’n kind, readers get to know Mart both as a teenager and as an expat in her thirties, living in London. The TV series, however, also shows Mart as an older woman who returned to South Africa permanently. In the TV series, Mart is portrayed by three different actors at various stages of her life: Melissa Myburg, Cintaine Schutte and Susanne Beyers. Melissa Myburgh (Kompleks, Lui Maar Op, Belinda) is young Mart, Cintaine Schutte is Mart in the 1990’s and Susanne Beyers is present day Mart. Cintaine (Fynskryf, Ekstra Medium) was recently seen in the solo production based on the book and Susanne's credits include Binnelanders, Erfsondes, Die Byl and Onder Draai die Duiwel Rond. In the scenes set in the 1970’s, Mienke Ehlers is seen as Mart’s friend Dalena and Augusta Zietsman is their other friend Suna. Jana Kruger and André Weideman are Mart’s parents, Marlene and Karel, and her siblings are played by Andahr Cotton (Simon), Méla Swanepoel (Liefie) and Wesley Smit (Neil). Some of the other actors in the scenes from the 1970’s are Ben Albertyn as Pierre and Deànré Reiners as Hein as well as Stian Bam, Amalia Uys, Lizz Meiring, Martelize Kolver and Sandra Vaughn. In the 1990’s scenes, Wilhelm van der Walt portray the role of the older Simon. Ludwig Binge, Kim Syster, André Roothman, Zenobia Kloppers and Quanita Adams will be seen in the present day scenes.
