Synopsis

In the Mallee country, a family gathers to celebrate the 80th birthdays of twin sisters Dibs and Girlie. But these have been heartbreak years in the bush and the cracks are beginning to show. All have a claim to the land, but which claim will prevail and who will lose out?

A powerful family saga dealing with divisions between the city and the bush, black and white, and duty and freedom.
