Synopsis: Set during apartheid in Namibia, the story follows the unlikely friendship between David and Lisa who make a connection through the melodies she plays on her flute and the whistle he blows. However, Lisa’s racist father forbids this innocent friendship and ultimately sends his daughter to a hostel. Years later, Lisa returns to the farm as a young woman and revisits her past near the graves of the dead river.
