I'd probably splinter with the S hand after a 1♦ opener. You get to describe the key features of your hand in one bid and partner can judge what to do. After a 3♠ cuebid, a 4♦ bid will suggest good trumps, since S can't have many points in the majors and couldn't cue ♣. Seems like good trumps, short ♥, not much in ♣ is enough for N to make some move.
OK

North has a slam force (through blackwood) after south splinters (and it is clear for south to splinter).

My splinters are much stronger then this hand, so 3 ♥ which had happend to work here is out.

So

1♦ 2 ♦
2♠ 3 ♦ (If this is non forcing, I had gambled 5 ♦)
5 ♦ all pass +1
Kind Regards

After 1♦-3♥ (splinter) it seems very easy to get to slam.

1♦-2♦
3♦-3♥ (min unbalanced) -(shortness)

At this point north plays slam, but he will bid around to check for heart void

3♠-4♦
4NT-5♠
6♦

Hi,

1D - 2D (1)
2NT (2) - 3NT (3)

(1) inverted, 10+, 4 card support, no 4 card major
splinter is certainly ok, most likely best, since you tell your whole story
in one go
(2) tough, 10xxx is a stopper, one also has a spade stopper, and a club
stopper, so 2NT it is
(3) ...

-1?

With kind regards
Marlowe
