Silwerskerm Best Actress winner Lea Vivier (
Wonderlus, The Day We Didn’t Meet) is the lead in the new Showmax Original
DAM, a small-town psychological thriller from four-time SAFTA winner Alex Yazbek that’s now streaming.
In
DAM, Lea stars as Yola Fischer, who returns from Chile to a small town in the Eastern Cape to bury her estranged father. She discovers he’s left his farm to her, to the irritation of her sister, Sienna
. But it turns out that this may be more of a curse than a blessing, as the house seems to be trying to tell her something. With her mother institutionalised and her own meds running out, Yola has to wonder: are the spirits real, or just in her head?
