Stilte (Andre Frauenstein) (DVD)

Angelique (Angelique Pretorius) is a singing sensation with the world at her finger tips when suddenly her joy and her parents are taken from her life by ruthless criminals. Her vocal cords are damaged from the attack and she suffers from severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In an attempt to help her heal, Angelique's aunt (Chante Hinds) and uncle (Chris de Clerq) take her in to their home in the breath-taking Karoo region. It is here that she meets Pieter (Andre Frauenstein), a young pastor who patiently and lovingly coaxes her out of her cocoon. Altus Thearts plays Angelique's overbearing manager who seems to care more about the money she makes than her well-being. In preparing for the lead roles, Pretorius drew from personal experience and PTSD research, while Frauenstein spent two months in the company of a pastor. Say's Pretorius: “Stilte is a film that anyone can relate to, old or young, religious or not, because it's an inspirational message. It's a feel good film because you think that if Angelique can make it through, anyone can."
