Description:
A writer, Ned Kendall (Mendelsohn), is asked to return to the remote and isolated family home by his sister Sally (Griffiths), to say goodbye to his father, Bruce (Brown), who is dying. Ned also brings his 21 year old aspiring actress fiancee, Toni (Dermody) who has trouble getting use to the isolation and harshness of rural Australia.
While back home, Ned (O’Donnell) starts having memories of his childhood, many involving his beautiful twin sister (Lowe) and his older brother Cliff (McFarlane). These memories awaken long-buried secrets from the family’s past.
After a drunken night out with friends, Ned goes for a swim in the family dam. He is joined by Kate, who seduces and subsequently has sex with him on the banks of the dam. Ned shows immediate remorse while Kate remains unperturbed.
After Ned’s refusal to have further sexual relations with Kate, Kate instigates a fight between Cliff and Ned by suggesting that Ned made unwanted advances towards her. As punishment, Bruce makes Ned accompany Kate to the Christmas dance. During the dance, Ned leaves Kate, who is left to go home with Cliff. Ned leaves separately and on his way home he finds his sister’s dead body in Cliff’s crashed car. Cliff later hangs himself.
