An idealistic British drama school teacher, Jodi Rutherford, persuades a cynical South African farmer to prepare her for a role in a major film as an Afrikaans war heroine. In return Jodi undertakes to direct the annual concert on the Willemse farm. Jodi's interaction with the quirky small town citizens and the stubborn Kobus, teaches her that: "there is more to life than lights... camera... and action!" Written by Dark Matter Studios
A feel good intercontinental love story, encompassed by undeniable humor, indifference, understanding and some good old nostalgia.
Subtly taking on everything you would expect to see in the ingredients for a perfect love story: wholesome, healthy and fulfilling.
Leading Lady left me smiling and believing that love will always prevail, be it in a big city or on a small farm forgotten by time, held together by hope.
If you do anything this weekend - make sure it includes Leading Lady and some popcorn!
A definite 10/10
