In 'The Harvesters,' a sensitive teen clashes with the street tough his religious mother has brought into their home in a white community in rural South Africa.
In “The Harvesters,” writer-director Etienne Kallos has crafted a profound story of brotherhood with semi-biblical undertones that connects two teen boys in an insidious battle for both emotional and familial supremacy. This darkly powerful psychodrama finds fear and tension in its hermetic world of rural farming and religious immersion amid the almost contradictory beauty of its sprawling South African locale.
Janno is a stalwart, yet sensitive midteen whose devoutly Christian mother, Marie , brings troubled, unruly 13-year-old orphan Pieter to live with them on their remote family farm. But neither Janno nor his stern father, Jan , likes this precarious new arrangement, fearing, in part, for the safety of Jan’s three younger sisters. Marie persists — she’s there to “save” Pieter.
What follows is a fraught and twisty coming-of-age journey for the dutiful, sexually questioning Janno and the brash and scrappy Pieter, who slowly prove to be two halves of a cold-hearted whole. Still, the boys, strongly played by Vermeulen and Van Dyk, find themselves as strangely bonded as they are at odds.
