"Moffie" is a 2019 biographical war romantic drama film directed by Oliver Hermanus, based on the autobiographical novel of the same name by André Carl van der Merwe. The film follows Nicholas van der Swart (Kai Luke Brümmer) as he completes his two years of compulsory military service in South Africa during apartheid, hiding his gay attraction to another recruit, Dylan Stassen (Ryan de Villiers), in a hostile environment. The title derives from a homophobic slur in South Africa used to police masculinity.
