Contents
The film
Fanus (a shortened form of ‘Stefaans’) is a nondescript sound engineer who is never noticed by anyone, especially not by his boss's beautiful but temperamental daughter, Linda. But that all changes with the arrival of Blink Stefaans (‘Shiny Steven’), who has a lot of advice for Fanus – from how he can make money, to how he ought to dress. Fanus follows the advice of Blink Stefaans, and suddenly he gets a lucrative job as a filmmaker and makes friends with the filmmaker's assistant, Chrissie. But then he decides to ignore Blink Stefaans’s advice. He begs Linda, with whom he’s still in love, to be the star of his new Cinderella-style advertisement. But the ad campaign fails, Fanus loses his job, and Chrissie flees to the Cape with a broken heart. Blink Stefaans also abandons Fanus. Will Fanus ever get his happy life back, or do such things only happen in fairy tales?
