Drama

The very best of Australian screen talent combine to recreate the hauntingly beautiful novel by multi award-winning author Tim Winton. Seventeen directors from diverse artistic backgrounds each direct a chapter from the novel, with a star-studded cast that includes Cate Blanchett. Linking and overlapping stories explore the extraordinary turning points in ordinary people’s lives in a stunning portrait of a small coastal community. As characters face second thoughts and regret, relationships irretrievably alter, resolves are made or broken, and lives change direction forever.
