Vir die eerste keer in ’n dekade herenig Colette, Johan en Lisa vir ’n wintervakansie aan die Suid-Afrikaanse kus. Elkeen het elders ’n lewe opgebou in ’n poging om die onstabiliteit van hul kinderdae en die lang skadu van hul ma, Annatjie, te ontsnap. Die atmosfeer verander radikaal wanneer Colette verklap dat sy hul ma genooi het. Annatjie arriveer soos ’n storm en trek die familie terug in ou patrone van wrewel, oorlewingsmeganismes en onafgehandelde geskiedenis. Mettertyd laat haar teenwoordigheid die afstand verdwyn wat hulle tussen hulself en hul verlede probeer sit het. Elkeen word gedwing om te vra hoeveel van hul lewens steeds om haar swaartekrag wentel, en of daardie houvas ooit werklik verbreek kan word. Landmyn is ’n intieme kamerdrama oor geërfde trauma, pligpleging en die onmoontlike daad van opgee en laat vaar.
For the first time in a decade, siblings Colette, Johan and Lisa reunite for a winter holiday on the South African coast. Each has built a life elsewhere to escape the instability of their childhood and the long shadow of their mother, Annatjie. The mood shifts when Colette reveals she has invited her to join them. Annatjie arrives like a hurricane, pulling the family back into old patterns of resentment, survival mechanisms and unfinished history. As the days pass, Annatjie’s presence starts dissolving the distance the siblings have put between them and their past, drawing them back into roles shaped by obligation and dependency. Each of them is forced to ask how much of their lives still orbit around her gravity, and whether that hold can ever be broken. Landmyn is an intimate chamber drama about inherited trauma, obligation and the difficult act of letting go.
