✦ Synopsis

A boat trip in a squall to scatter the ashes of an old man, who was not loved.

A young father, driving his daughters home across grass plains, unable to tell them that their mother has died.

A speech that doesn't include the aching pain of trying to save a cousin's life.

A mother hiding her fugitive son in a cockatoo cage as the river rises.
