English
« Tell Me Sweet Something » tells the story of Moratiwa (Mbatha): an aspiring novelist with writer’s block. She hasn’t had much luck with love ever since her ex-boyfriend Norman went out to buy milk and never came back. Tired of having a recluse as a best friend, Tashaka (Ziqubu) convinces her to party up a storm at a new club in the city; it is here that she meets South Africa’s no.1 celebrity model Nat Masilo (Maponyane) or as she nicknames him « The 45 Foot Man » on account of a huge billboard in which he features (in)conveniently situated directly opposite her bookshop.
Two different worlds collide in this charming, funny, romantic and very sweet film showing a side of Johannesburg that is rarely seen: The City of Gold as a City Of Love. Will they or won’t they? As Moratiwa says to Nat: « I am writing a love story. » Nat says: « Will they get together? » Moratiwa replies ‘I haven’t written the ending yet « .
