An elderly goat herder living in the mountains of Namaqualand, South Africa, is tricked by a scam promising compensation for her father’s service in the Second World War. As she waits for money that never arrives, the events surrounding her 80th birthday threaten her independence. Told through a series of repeated visual scenes, the film explores her long wait, her strength in facing hardship, and the losses she experiences as she grows older.
Jason Jacobs and Devon Delmar are co-writers and directors under the collective KRAAL, based between Namaqualand and Cape Town, South Africa. Their productions reflect a strong connection to local culture and the natural world, integrating themes of consciousness and the non-human in their narratives.
