Queensland Premiere.
In the early 1860s, two immigrants meet and agree to settle down together in the quiet town of Elk Flats, Nevada.
They build a life together, finding joy and beauty amid the harsh conditions. The outbreak of the civil war separates them when Olsen makes a fateful decision to fight for the Union. This leaves Vivienne to fend for herself in a place controlled by a corrupt Mayor and his partners.
Both a tragic love story and a nuanced depiction of the conflict between revenge and forgiveness, this is a portrait of a passionate woman determined to stand up for herself in an unforgiving world dominated by ruthless men.
Cast: Vicky Krieps, Viggo Mortensen and Solly McLeod.
We are pleased to present the Short Film, Thornton, prior to the feature screening.
