The Harvesters (2018)

In the heartland of South Africa's Free State region, an isolated fortress of Afrikaans white ethnic culture thrives, a territory consumed by traditional masculinity and stoic strength. Hidden in its folds is Janno, a unique entity in this patriarchal society. Janno is a mystery, shrouded in secrecy, his emotional fragility setting him apart from the rest. This tranquil equilibrium is shattered when his deeply religious mother brings home Pieter, a hardened street orphan she intends to redeem. With Pieter's arrival, the familial equilibrium teeters on the edge of conflict. Janno is tasked to accept this stranger, this interloper, as his brother, thrusting him into an unexpected trial of strength and character. As the family dynamics shift, the two boys engage in a silent, simmering battle - a struggle for control, for heritage, and most importantly, for the affection and approval of their parents. "The Harvesters" draws us into a captivating dance of power and familial tension. It's a narrative of love and rivalry, of tradition and change, set against the stark, rugged beauty of a South African farming territory. An emotionally rich and riveting drama that promises to leave its audience pondering long after the credits roll.
