Seriously Single

SYNOPSIS

​

Dineo is the ultimate serial monogamist—she lives for the "happily ever after" and defines her life by her relationships. When she is abruptly dumped on Valentine’s Day (again), her world crumbles. Her best friend Noni, a commitment-phobe who thrives on the freedom of the single life, takes it upon herself to teach Dineo how to embrace being alone. Set against the vibrant, modern backdrop of Johannesburg, Seriously Single is a comedic look at the pressures of social media, the complexities of modern dating, and the realisation that the most important relationship you can have is the one with yourself.
