Bustin' Bonaparte

When a duplicitous, oily stranger (Richard E. Grant) arrives at their isolated South African sheep farm in the Karoo in the 1870s in this touching, delightfully charming, wryly funny 2005 film, which is based on Olive Schreiner's novel The Story of an African Farm and is highlighted with beautiful photography, two sisters (Anneke Weidemann and Kasha Kropinski) and an inventive young boy (Luke Gallant) who live on the farm with an overweight, mean-spirited widow (Karin van der Laag) and their kindhearted, Bible-fearing uncle (Armin Mueller-Stahl) try to warn their caretakers that he is liar and is up to no good.
