Die Tert

Bennie, a baker, is finding life hard after his wife's passing. At one moment, he mistakenly poisons Brandi, his dog, with alcohol after a night of drinking. After rushing her to the vet, it was suggested that he hires a dog sitter for assistance. Lesinda is a dog sitter by day and a sex worker by night. She bonds well with Bennie and Brandi and ends up being in bed with Bennie who then flares up after Lesinda discloses her other occupation. He desperately tries to get back in contact with her, but she ignores his calls. He manages to set up a meeting with her, under false pretenses, but she rejects him again. He sticks around and saves her from a business meeting gone wrong and eventually ends up being in business with her.

Directed by Mila Guy, Die Tert leans on a strong ensemble — André Lötter, Anré Bouguenon, Solomon Cupido — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 2025.
