Wilting of the Blood Orchid

In this short film of only 25 minutes, we delve into the themes of love and betrayal, family violence, and alcoholism to a point where we can all relate. It is not so much about finding who killed the younger brother but more about what this death engenders to the family taking us to the deep and complex emotions of each of the characters.

Beautifully filmed, we wouldn't know that this is a first movie for the young director. Shots take us to intimate moments with the characters and leave us wondering whose fault it is really.

In this short film, we can definately recognise the South African culture by its actors and its themes which makes it undeniably true to its origins.
