Cast

Reception

Writing in the Weekend Australian David Stratton gave it 3 1/2 stars saying "Tapping into two deeply-held faiths, Jewish and Aboriginal, two races that have suffered appallingly at the hands of Aryans, the film is steeped in cross-cultural themes. Handsomely photographed by Radek Ladczuk and confidently acted by the entire cast, this is a fresh and distinctive local production."[3]

Jim Schembri gave it 3 stars calling it "A well-directed, intimate domestic drama, dramatically solid with a raft of good turns and a lovely location shoot".[4]

Paul Malone reviewed it for AustralianCATHOLICS, concluding that it was "Striking to look at, emotionally involving, and challenging."[5]
