'Gat in Die Muur' is essentially a story about discovering life as one goes on your final journey to death.

He brings his only son Ben - who lives abroad - to South Africa to go on a journey with him, along with the mysterious Ava (Tinarie van Wyk Loots).
The trip takes them to his best friend Tony, who runs their coffee farm in the Transkei. On this journey, he introduces life to his son and Ava. Secrets from his past are also revealed. It is a story of life, love, true friendship, and good coffee across the colour line between a white Afrikaner and his Xhosa friend.
