Warwick Thornton’s Cannes-selected new film stars Cate Blanchett, Deborah Mailman, Wayne Blair and newcomer Aswan Reid in a beguiling story of spirituality and survival. Set in 1940s Australia, the film depicts the mesmeric story of a 9-year-old Aboriginal orphan boy who arrives in the dead of night at a remote monastery run by a renegade nun (Blanchett). The new boy’s presence disturbs the delicately balanced world in this story of spiritual struggle and the cost of survival.
"Blanchett brings... a fierce authority born of repressed emotion."- The Guardian
"Warwick Thornton, with help from Blanchett as actor and producer, tells a mystical story that ties into shameful Australian history."- The Wrap
