I saw this movie on DVD and first it was very complicated but after watching it for the third ime I understand it now and it is brilliant. With the lovely Leandi Du Rand and old faves Marga Van Roy,Ian Roberts and Gertha Fox. Thus movie is a fantasy and the first one in Afrikaans the movie is also very serious but at times can make you giggle. Die windpomp tells the story of Hendri(Armand Greyling) and Margo(Leandi Du Rand) who falls in love in a summer romance but everything is not what it seems you are going to be shocked of the huge twist in this movie and in the end everything will make sense if you watch it at least 3 times(LoL). Give it a try or at least 3 and you will love it. Die windpomp

Strong Romance storyline

Die Windpomp gets my vote as one of the best films ever made in South Africa. One of the best Afrikaans movie I ever watched. The film kept me on my toes and enjoyed every part of the movie.
A great movie to watch with family and friends with same popcorns and drinks to enjoy the love storyline.
It's a film you can escape into and surrender to wholeheartedly, the movie will change the way you see life, and hopefully rejuvenate lost loves and disastrous love affairs.
If you are romance movie type of a person than you will enjoy this movie and regret thing as this move has all the elements of a romance storyline movie.
