Summary |
Blue eyed, fair skinned Lena is the daughter of an Aboriginal mother, living in a small country town.She longs for the romantic ideal of her absent father and his Irish heritage. When her home life feels set to implode, she hits the road with little money, a backpack and a photo of her dad. When Lena misses her bus to Sydney, she meets up with Vaughn, an Aboriginal teenager who has run away from a minimum-security prison in the desperate hope of reaching his ill mother. Like many young Aboriginal men, Vaughn is hardened by his anger at the world. Initially the two reluctant traveling companions are suspicious and wary of each other, but their journey, mostly by foot and the odd lift, builds an understanding between them. |
