When teacher Simon arrives in a small, secluded village to take over the local school, he is surprised to discover that his predecessor has disappeared without a trace - and that nobody seems too concerned about it. As Simon probes deeper into the disappearance, the inhabitants of a forbidding estate called "Summerfield" take on more and more significance.

Eric Bana reunites with the writer-director of Aussie hit The Dry for this adaptation of Tim Winton's best-selling novel, co-starring Mia Wasikowska (Bergman Island). The film tells a story about the ocean, a beautiful marine creature, and a young girl’s power to change the world.

The first Australian film to play in competition at Cannes, this true story drama follows a part aboriginal man who finds the pressure of adapting to white culture intolerable and as a result snaps in a violent and horrific manner.
