Kelders van Geheime (Cellars of Secrets) is a South African, Afrikaans-language telenovela based on the wheeling's and dealings of the community that lives on Soebatskloof (a wine farm in the Cape). The series focuses on three families: the Abrahams, Syster and Marais households. These families will have to stand together, agree (or agree to disagree), and work together to earn their bread and butter – and a glass of wine.
Edmund and Annette’s worlds come to a complete stop when Charlie’s medical condition is shared with them. Annette completely loses her head, and lands in front of a car. The family wants to stay with Edmund for support, but he doesn’t want anything from anyone.
Edmund feels relieved when a second opinion is requested – and then he meets Clarissa. Junior is deeply disappointed when Allison is not at home. Marco’s good deed is just too much for Annnette, and Shireen is once again summoned. Shireen comes to a heartbreaking conclusion.

Junior considers sending Allison a message to ask her to come back. Clarissa’s son, Liam, needs help. Marco feels guilty about Annette’s condition. Edmund receives news from the doctors.

Veronique receives a call from her past: she has to say goodbye before it is too late. Unathi confronts Marco about his mother’s decision to kick Stil Piet and the Grootbooms out of their house.
