Beurtkrag (2021)
SAFTA nominees Ivan Botha and DonnaLee Roberts star in Beurtkrag, a romcom about Jasper, who doesn’t want to be alone, and Fransie, who is independent and prefers it that way. Moving in together promises a hopeful new beginning for the pair. When loadshedding strikes on their first night together, they try to make the best of a bad situation, but darkness confronts them with the baggage of the past, forcing them to unpack their shared history.
Botha and Roberts, who are married in real life, are the king and queen of local romcoms, responsible for breakout box office hits Pad Na Jou Hart and Vir Altyd. Botha adapted the script for Beurtkrag alongside director Jozua Malherbe (winner of the 2021 Best Director SAFTA for Griekwastad) from the 2015 Silwerskermfees short film of the same name.
Beurtkrag premiered at the 2022 Silwerskermfees.
