Die koning en sy bruid

It is the year 1745. The trousseau is packed. The lemons are picked. The sheets are clean. And celebrations reign throughout the Cape of Good Hope. Farmer Willem Aarde and shy bride Amélie Bruére are getting married! A marriage means the joining of families. Of farms. Of wealth. A wedding means an heir! But when the bedroom door closes and the four-poster bed curtains are drawn, farmer Willem and bride Amélie come face to face with inevitable, binding, and divine duty. Because for this bridal couple, on their wedding night, much more awaits than just stained sheets. Die koning en sy bruid was named best production at the 2024 Première Festival, and walked away with the awards for best script, best actor and best actress in a leading role.
