Synopsis

In this portrait of a small coastal community, characters face second thoughts and regret, relationships irretrievably alter, resolves are made or broken, and lives change direction forever.

MUBI's take

A selection of short stories by Tim Winton are interpreted by an expansive and talented team of 17 different Australian filmmakers. Populated by nuanced turns from the likes of Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, & Rose Byrne, this epic of emotion successfully taps into the essence of Winton’s literature.
