A child's exploration of natural landscape magically evokes the wonder and mysteries of this time in life. Set in the stunning landscape of South Australia's coastline, few films since had depicted the innocent yet harsh truths learnt through the storyso well. Whale Rider is the only one perhaps, and these films share an essence. Like that film, this is about a child, but for adults.
