Description
[Machine Translation] Starring Mia Wasikowska. The miracle of life given to us by the sea---a story of the bond between a mother and her daughter, depicted with the beauty of images colored in dazzling turquoise blue. Australia is home to numerous natural heritage sites, including the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef area, with incomparably magnificent landscapes and unique ecosystems. From this country in the southern hemisphere, with which Japan and Australia have a rich exchange in various aspects such as politics, economy, and culture, comes a human drama filled with dazzling brilliance. It is a moving story of the bond between a mother and daughter nurtured by the turquoise sea, spun with a message of environmental protection. Directed by Robert Connolly, whose Crime Suspense "Thirst and Falsehood" was released in Japan in 2022 to critical acclaim, this film is the realization of a dream for Connolly, who had been fascinated by Tim Winton's original novel published in 1997 and had been longing for a film version. This film is the realization of that dream. The ensemble cast of internationally acclaimed Australian talent is also not to be missed. Abby is played by Mia Wasikowska, who has appeared in the films of such master filmmakers as Jim Jarmusch, Park Chan-wook, David Cronenberg, and Guillermo del Toro after her breakout role in "Alice in Wonderland. She delicately portrays Abby's emotional state as she tries to find a better future with the emotional support of her bond with her mother and her connection with nature. Radha Mitchell (Silent Hill) plays Dora, a mother full of vitality, and Eric Bana, who starred in and produced Connolly's previous film, Thirst and Falsehood, appears as Macca, a fisherman with whom the mother and son share a bond. The two rising stars Ariel Donoghue and Ilsa Fogg, who play 8-year-old and 15-year-old Abby, respectively, bring a fresh vibrancy to the film. --Abby Jackson is a young marine biologist who returns to her hometown of Longboat Bay, a seaside town in Western Australia, after receiving news that her mother Dora has suffered a stroke. Fortunately, Dora's condition is mild and she is discharged from the hospital. She returns to her home on a hill overlooking the beautiful ocean, but she has lost all ability to speak. Abby decides to stay at home for a while to take care of Dora, and memories of her childhood, when she was always with her mother, come back to her mind...
