This movie tackles the sensitive political issue of boat-people with laconic Aussie humour against the grandeur of the Western Australian desert and wilderness. The staggeringly beautiful and savage landscape is filmed to maximise the desperation of people who overcome all odds and somehow the director has managed to make it very, very funny.The well-cast motley crew of lesser known actors create multi-faceted rolls with which you can engage. Its a movie full of wonderful faces and intelligent thought. A little word of advice for intrepid travellers - should a largish lizard come hurtling towards you in the outback - do not stand still - as it will think you are a tree and climb!!
