This is a grimy, brooding drama
set in a decaying farmhouse in the desolate heart of the Free State. It is about a dangerous and passionate
relationship between deeply troubled siblings, their benign domestic worker and
a hapless lawyer who pays them a visit.
The production features two South
African actors Damon Shalit who plays the menacing Frikkie and Chella Ferrow
who plays his complex, child-woman sister.
Shalit also wrote the screenplay
and produced the film. The film is
directed by Gabriel Bologna.
They are supported by established
British actor Jonny Coyne who plays Mr Grove. He was most recently seen in Hangover 3. The housekeeper is played by US singer and
actress Connie Jackson.
