New Afrikaans movie Relatief jonk will be releasing on DStv BoxOffice on July 9th. Itʼs styled as a road trip movie filled with love, fun and spontaneous adventure. Itʼs directed by Hendrik Cronje, who also stars. Check out the trailer below:
According to Cronje, “Relatief jonk is a road trip film that explores the struggles of people in their late 20s. Are some people meant to be together? Do you give up on your dreams and settle for a “real” job? I donʼt think there is a right and wrong answer to any of these questions.
“The universal theme of oneʼs lifeʼs purpose is investigated through the characters, all having a laugh while relating to their issues of ‘maturity.’ Real life is messy.”
Also starring are Amalia Uys and Vilje Maritz.
