What Beneath Clouds Is About

Lena is the daughter of an Aboriginal mother and an Irish father; she is light-skinned and usually taken for white, and she sets out to find the father she knows only from photographs. Vaughn is a Murri boy serving time in a minimum security prison in north-west New South Wales. Events neither of them chose put them on a journey together with no money and no transport. To Lena, Vaughn is the life she is running from; to Vaughn, Lena is the society that pushed him out; and for a short while they are genuinely happy. Ivan Sen wrote and directed it, his first feature, and he is himself of Aboriginal descent. Both leads were untrained, and Dannielle Hall won best newcomer at Berlin in 2002.
