What Blessed Is About

The film tells one day in Melbourne twice over. In the first half seven children move through the city from morning until night: a boy who has run away from home and the little sister who follows him, two girls who skip school to shoplift, a child left open to exploitation on the streets, another who is drawn without meaning to be into an act of violence. In the second half the same day starts again from the mothers’ side, and what those hours were for the women becomes visible. Ana Kokkinos’s hundred and thirteen minute Australian film was adapted from a play written by five authors; Frances O’Connor, Miranda Otto and Deborra-Lee Furness appear.
