Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
One of the few mainstream Afrikaans rom-coms centering a Chinese-South African love interest, quietly subverting the genre's usual demographics.
Dewetsdorp is a real Free State town — population under 1,000 — making Madelaine's fish-out-of-water energy almost documentary-level authentic.
