WHITE DEVILS is the first-ever film adaptation of Diepe Grond, the seminal work of Reza de Wet, South Africa’s most celebrated female author and playwright. Though she passed away in 2012, she left behind a legacy of leading a literary war against apartheid during the height of South Africa's era of censorship and oppression.

“White Devils is a slow descent into madness, peeling back layers of family trauma, lust, and long-buried sins until you’re left raw and rattled. Gabriel Bologna masterfully disorients, while Chella Ferrow and Damon Shalit deliver unhinged performances that make you want to sit naked in the dark corner of your bedroom. By the end, you’ll realize the real horrors aren’t supernatural—they’re inherited.” Alan Ng - Film Threat

When the executor of a will comes to investigate why a once prosperous South African homestead has turned to rack and ruin, he uncovers a dark secret
buried in the evils of apartheid and puts his own life in peril.

The story begins with two troubled lovers, Frikkie and Sussie, living in squalor on an isolated country farm. Together, they share unresolved pain and scars
from the brutal punishments, both physical and emotional, they received at the hands of their Boer parents and the oft-wielded family Sjambok, the
infamous leather-hide whip.

The home and farm are in a state of uninhabitable disrepair and devastation, allegedly in the grip of an endless drought. The two lovers live in an alternate
reality playing destructive emotional games, role playing past abuses they both endured. Their beloved, and mainly silent, Black caretaker watches
over and serves them with unconditional love and dedication, helpless as the two self-destruct.

When the big city lawyer arrives to take possession of the farm, they will stop at nothing to keep their dark secrets forever buried.
