The Harvesters

The province of Free State, South Africa, is inhabited by a white minority of Afrikaners isolated from the rest of the country. In a conservative community that values masculinity and strength beyond anything else, lives introverted and sensitive Janno. One day, his devout mother brings home Pieter, an orphan from the street. The woman asks her son to love the stranger like a brother. For the boys, this day marks the beginning of their fight for power, heritage and the mother’s attention.
