Short summary

The story is about a 20 year old boy, Hendri, who arrives on the doorstep of his senile, reclusive grandfather in a retirement village. His world is soon infested by garden ornaments, bingo nights and odd "old ballie" behavior. During a sneaky late night cigarette, Hendri follows five silhouetted figures into the forest on the outskirts of the small town, and finds more than he expected.

Die Windpomp began it's life as a AFDA film school student short film. ZenHQ Films producer Chris Roland saw a screening of the short, and immediately optioned it to develop into a feature length film.

The Windmill (Die Windpomp) was originally produced as a 48 min AFDA film school graduate film, and swept the awards including best film, best script and best director. The Windmill received the highest public ratings in AFDA's history. ZenHQ Films loved the short so much they decided to produce the full length version.

    I saw this movie on DVD and first it was very complicated but after watching it for the third ime I understand it now and it is brilliant. With the lovely Leandi Du Rand and old faves Marga Van Roy,Ian Roberts and Gertha Fox. Thus movie is a fantasy and the first one in Afrikaans the movie is also very serious but at times can make you giggle. Die windpomp tells the story of Hendri(Armand Greyling) and Margo(Leandi Du Rand) who falls in love in a summer romance but everything is not what it seems you are going to be shocked of the huge twist in this movie and in the end everything will make sense if you watch it at least 3 times(LoL). Give it a try or at least 3 and you will love it. Die windpomp
