Set amid of a Victorian stony paddocks and flowing grasses, this latest Aussie film, with a downtempo pace and idyllic photography, depicts the unusual childhood of Raimond Gaita, with his father Romulus Gaita.
Romulus, father of a young virtuous teenager, husband of a rebelious and unfaithful German woman, has been through both psychical and emotional torture to the face of constantly deteriorating plight.
Most people who have watched this film are initially attracted by Eric Bana, who really add layers of complexicity and subtlety in rendering a character full of tragedies but stands still, as a vivid symbole of the grassroot spirit of Australians, the British-Isles descents who find themselves belong to nowhere.
Some of the scenes in the film are so pure, and some words are left unspoken from the characters, leaving the pictures speaking themselves to echo with the emotional desolation inside of you.....
