Kangaroo Island

Lou Wells (Rebecca Breeds) has hit rock bottom. After a promising start to her acting career in Hollywood, out of the blue, her talent agency says they’re “just not excited by her anymore” and promptly drop her. Truth is, Lou Wells isn’t excited about Lou Wells either. Broke and aimless, she reluctantly accepts a ticket from her estranged father, Rory (Erik Thomson), to return home to South Australia’s ruggedly beautiful Kangaroo Island. But what was meant to be a time for reconciliation turns complicated when years of sibling tension and unexpected family secrets resurface. Lou soon discovers that no matter where you end up, home never leaves you.

The film will be followed by a Q&A with the Filmmakers in Cinema.
