Horisonne (2022)
Free your mind before you lose it…
Melissa, a psychologist, learns that her ex-lover, Melchior van Staden, has set up Horisonne, a mindfulness estate where he seems to be brainwashing young men and women, spiritually and psychologically. She’s even more concerned when she discovers that her 18-year-old daughter, Adri, whom she had given up for adoption, is now the cult leader’s right-hand woman. Going to the estate herself, she risks her life to save her daughter from Melchior’s power.
The eerie psychological thriller stars SAFTA winner Elma Postma as Melissa opposite former Boo! frontman Chris Chameleon as Melchior, reuniting the two stars 17 years after their bittersweet romantic storyline on 7de Laan as Dezi and Liam.
Rising star Deoudoné Van der Merwe, the face of kykNET’s Stella campaign, plays Adri. SAFTA winner André Velts (Die Pro, Raaiselkind, Vergeet My Nie) directs, while Fleur du Cap nominee and Fiesta winner Wessel Pretorius wrote the script, including a scene-stealing part for himself as a psychopath.
