Stuck in an unfulfilling job, reeling from a broken engagement and approaching her 30th birthday, Alex finds herself in the throes of an existential crisis, feeling the weight of societal pressures to have achieved certain milestones by a certain age. With her personal life falling apart, and seeking a glimmer of joy for her birthday, she escapes with her best friend to the tiny opal mining town Andamooka, embarking on a journey of self-exploration.
This raw and honest portrayal of womanhood on the road was directed and produced by Mara Jean Quinn (who also stars) and co-produced by acclaimed actor Aaron Pedersen (Mystery Road, High Country).
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Mara Jean Quinn and producer Aaron Pedersen, discussing the making of the film and the themes at the core of it.
“A raw and honest portrayal of womanhood. The film's themes of bravery, freedom, and self-discovery resonate widely” – Cinema Australia
