Watch: First Afrikaans rom-com trailer

Cape Town - The first Afrikaans Romantic Comedy, Semi Soet, has released its official teaser trailer.

The film stars 7de Laan's Anel Alexander, Nico Panagio and Diaan Lawrenson as well as South African actors Sandra Vaughn and Paul du Toit.

Sandra Vaughn, who also wrote this year's Getroud met Rugby, penned the screenplay while Anel Alexander and her husband James took on the roles of producers.

The plot revolves around a woman named Jaci van Jaarsveld (Anel Alexander) who is desperately trying to save her boutique advertising agency from the claws of a ruthless businessman known as "The Jackal".

Jaci hopes that an eminent wine estate-owning family with whom she could potentially land a massive contract can save her agency.

Winning the contract is no easy feat, but Jaci will stop at nothing to get what she wants. She even persuades someone to act as her fiancé in order to impress her client. On the estate, however things between Jaci and her fake fiancé turn sour, with hilarious results.
