During a never-ending winter, an old man descends down a mountain into the valley of oblivion. There he stumbles upon two sisters who are seeking salvation within the ruin. Emotional, slow-burn and character-driven, WINTERSLAAP (HIBERNATION) is set on a rural farm within the Drakensberg Valley, circa 1900. It is a marriage of human drama, religion and apocalyptic fantasy.
