Set in the mid-1800s, Oscar and Lucinda is the tale of a young priest and a teenage heiress who meet on a ship to Australia, and bond over their love of gambling. In Sydney, Lucinda builds a glass church and bets Oscar that he can't transport it to a remote outback settlement.

Based on the popular novel by Peter Carey, Oscar and Lucinda stars Cate Blanchett and Ralph Fiennes, and was directed by Gillian Armstrong. It was nominated for an Oscar for its costumes, and for 7 Australian Film Industry Awards, winning 5, including Best Achievement in Sound.
