Plot
In the stark landscape of the Karoo semi-desert, the tranquil world of Beauty Cuba, a solitary middle-aged policewoman, is shattered when she receives a distress call from Billy, her long-lost love, recently ensnared in the unforgiving grasp of the law for murder. Propelled by the echoes of their past, Beauty finds herself returning to her roots in Beaufort West, only to discover the complexity of the case that awaits her.
The real instigator of this unexpected crime is Natalie, a painfully introverted young woman who, on horseback, abandons the confines of her small, rural town. Alongside her childhood friend Poppie, now pregnant and equally desperate, they embark on a daring quest to elude the law's relentless pursuit.
"Flatland" unfolds as a contemporary Western, a vivid exploration of femininity set against the harsh, unforgiving backdrop of a hostile frontier. It follows the intertwined journey of self-discovery for these three diverse yet equally entrapped women, each grappling with their unique predicaments. The film probes the essence of what it means to be a woman in today's South Africa, and in the broader context, the world. It paints a vibrant portrait of womanhood, stirring and raw, offering an unflinching gaze at their struggle and resilience in this frontier land.
