The Endless River



Oliver Hermanus : 2015

A young waitress welcomes her husband home to the small South African town of Riviersonderend after his four-year jail sentence. At first it appears their plans for a new life together are finally being realised. But when the wife and son of a foreigner living on a nearby farm are brutally murdered, the young woman and the grieving widower begin gravitating towards each other. Trapped in a cycle of violence and bloodshed, the two form an unlikely bond seeking to transcend their mutual anger, pain and loneliness. Oliver Hermanus's feature premiered in competition at Venice International Film Festival 2015.
