Following the death of her mother Tessa (Pamela Rabe), a young woman, returns after many years to the weather-beaten family home on the shores of Sydney’s Botany Bay. But the old family home begins to bring old wounds more and more to life. The story unfolds through flashbacks yet as it progresses the flashbacks merge into the present as it becomes apparent that the situation Tessa has returned to is very much the result of that which passed before. This is a film about memory - personal and collective. To quote the director: ‘the story of a house, land and two families - one white, one Aboriginal - both living in the shadow of the past’. The deliberately ambiguous title could refer to the house itself, but also the history of White Australia (see Terra nullius). |
