Warwick Thornton and Cannes-selected new film stars Cate Blanchett, Deborah Mailman, Wayne Blair and newcomer Aswan Reid in a beguiling story of spirituality and survival set in 1940s Australia

In an exhilarating start to the film, a brave Aboriginal boy (Reid) is engaged in a battle with police, fighting with all his might. Eventually subdued, he is sent off to a remote monastery - and home to orphaned boys - run by Sister Eileen (Blanchett). He possesses unusual powers, and as Sister Eileen's religious zeal intensifies, things begin to unravel. Thornton's elegant and concise storytelling is augmented with spectacular images and a uniformly superb cast - including a group of very promising actors playing the boys at the monastery.
