About A Paw-Paw For My Darling
This local ensemble comedy is set in 2003, as a group of working-class South Africans try to come to terms with their changed society. Seen through the eyes of a family dog, we watch as friends, neighbours and lovers try to deal with their challenging relationships.
Directed by Koos Roets, A Paw-Paw For My Darling leans on a strong ensemble — Willie Esterhuizen, Deon Lotz, Deirdre Wolhuter — 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 comedy titles of 2016.
