Season 1

Rock icon Valiant Swart makes his acting debut in a story perching on the edge of contemporary TV, offering a no-holds barred view of a world that proves life is never easy but always a thriller.

Writer/direcor/producer Jan Scholtz presents a work that looks at all the pitfalls looming in the world of music, showbiz, publicity and everything that makes it tick (often in a very destructive manner).

Song vir Katryn tells the story of an unconventional doctor, who pursues his passions mainly through a rock band after-hours. Valiant Swart is the libertine medical doctor, named Jinx, who has his own band and gallivants through the world on his bike.

Women are crazy about Jinx. At the doctor's rooms where he locums his diary is always fully booked. With women who don't mind taking off their clothes to be examined by the dear doctor. The ladies also flock to his performances at the clubs and rock concerts.

And they all hope to be the one he decides to marry...

But then his path crosses with a poor vixen waitress, named Katryn, who lost her job the night they met and hates all men. Jinx included.

She meets Jinx in a pub on the night she loses her waitressing job and from that day onwards their lives are intertwined. Sometimes without them knowing it. Sometimes without them wanting it.

Although Song vir Katryn is a romantic drama, it is also realistic as it investigates very relevant social problems such as, drugs, HIV/AIDS, prison sentences, pornography on the internet and child prostitution.

The series was produced and directed by Jan Scholtz. Original music was composed by Valiant Swart.
