Repressed desires surface in this Cannes Palme d'Or-nominated Australian psychological drama starring Pamela Rabe and Miranda Otto.
"Tightly-wound Hester (Rabe) lives with her father at an isolated farm in the Australian bush. Her life changes when she hires the brattish Katherine (Otto) as a housemaid and the two build a fraught friendship. After the death of Hester's father, the pair's best laid plans to spend her inheritance are unravelled by a tragic accident, and their own poor judgement." (Sydney Film Festival)
