Barren Lives
In vivid images, the documentary-like story of a drover and his family in the northern badlands of Brazil during the drought. A family in the search of new hope and destiny.
An eccentric cross-section of inner-city Sydney types - a widow, a reality TV star, a teenager, a criminal and a cult leader - collide in wildly original melodrama.
