Director: Etienne Fourie.
Based on the award winning short film.
“Die Windpomp” is a humorous and quirky love story that revolves around 20-year-old Hendri who arrives on the doorstep of an oddly familiar retirement village.
Bingo nights, garden ornaments and weird and wonderful behaviour of the people in the village soon invest Hendri’s world. Hendri is taken under the wing of a kind, elderly neighbour, who, for some reason, forces him to take regular baths at her house after deliberately damaging the plumbing.
Laying on the roof one night, Hendri sees five silhouetted figures making their way into a forest.
He follows them and finds more than he expected, elderly folks swimming in a dam, a windmill rising from its moonlit centre. A beautiful young girl appears from amongst the darkness and introduces herself as Margot.
Hendri is immediately mesmerised by his mysterious new friend.
But not everything is as it seems in Hendri’s world…
