Endless river (The)
Gilles and Tiny are both mourning recent deaths. Their grief unites them but hiding beneath the grief are darker shadows that connect their losses.

A young waitress welcomes her husband home to the small South African town of Riviersonderend (Endless River) after his four-year jail sentence. At first it appears their plans for a new life together are finally being realized. But when the family of a foreigner living on a nearby farm is 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.

Director’s Statement
Gilles and Tiny are from two different worlds. He is a grieving and displaced stranger in a strange land and her an unassuming local waitress, seeking a new start with her husband recently out of jail. Set in the small town of Riviersonderend (The Endless River), these two people, lost in their misfortune and loneliness and in search of reprieve from the hand that fate has dealt them, ultimately come to play out the struggle between victim and perpetrator, innocence and guilt, and-most importantly-lost and found.

Una giovane cameriera accoglie il marito che torna a casa nella cittadina sudafricana di Riviersonderend (Fiume Infinito) dopo quattro anni di detenzione. All’inizio sembra che i loro piani per una nuova vita insieme si stiano finalmente realizzando. Ma quando la famiglia di uno straniero che vive in una fattoria vicina viene brutalmente assassinata, la giovane e il vedovo in lutto cominciano a gravitare l’una verso l’altro. Fra i due, intrappolati in un circolo vizioso di violenze e spargimenti di sangue, si crea un legame improbabile nel tentativo di trascendere la rabbia reciproca, il dolore e la solitudine.

Commento del regista
Gilles e Tiny provengono da due mondi diversi. Lui è uno straniero che soffre e vive in una terra che gli è estranea e lei una modesta cameriera del posto che cerca di cominciare una nuova vita con il marito recentemente uscito di prigione. Collocati nella cittadina di Riviersonderend, questi due personaggi, persi nella loro sventura e solitudine e in cerca di una tregua dalle carte che il destino ha loro assegnato, si trovano infine a ingaggiare una battaglia tra vittima e carnefice, tra innocenza e colpa e, soprattutto, tra ciò che è stato perso e ciò che è stato trovato.
