Queensland Premiere – Stay with us after the film screening for a Q&A with Director and cast member, Mara Jean Quinn.
Red Carpet from 6:30pm for a 7:00pm Screening.
After her East Coast existence falls apart, a sheltered and somewhat naive Alex heads to the outback. Armed with an old ute and a quest to spend this milestone birthday with her best friend, Alex aims for tiny opal mining town Andamooka.
Set amongst natural Australian landscapes Alex must face herself and get accustomed to being alone. Her experiences as a woman are intimately explored alongside her grief. We witness the different selves she presents to the world.
We journey through her awakening to the magic and power of Indigenous culture. Her newfound cultural appreciation forges a deeper relationship with the continent she’s always called home. Alex encounters all sorts of salt of the earth locals, including a charming metal head as well as a Japanese Hitchhiker, adding to the tapestry of her trip.
Cast: Georgina Neave, Mara Jean Quinn and Jenny O’Sullivan.
