In 1893, heavily pregnant Molly Johnson and her children struggle in isolation to survive the harsh Australian landscape after her husband left to go droving sheep in the high country. One day, she finds a shackled Aboriginal fugitive named Yakada wounded on her property. As an unlikely bond begins to form between them he reveals secrets about her true identity. Realizing Molly’s husband is actually missing, new town lawman Nate Clintoff starts being suspicious and sends his constable to investigate.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut thriller set in remote colonial Australia where isolation, secrets, and an unlikely alliance between two outsiders create mounting dread. The harsh landscape becomes as much a character as the woman at the film's heart, whose true self emerges through tension and danger.
