Ten fragments of life. Three days until Christmas. The crossroads beckon in six interlocking stories revealing the isolation and tribulation of life in Sydney's Kings Cross.
A young Australian tourist, Mia, travels to the graceful yet haunted post-war Mostar city in Herzegovina in search for her only living family, her little sister Sofia.
Strong-willed but naive Australian teenager, Helena McCarthy, nose-dives into volunteer work in Calcutta, India, one of the poorest and grubbiest cities on Earth. Big sister Claire on camera bears witness to Helena's struggles over the ensuing months as she gradually, at times painfully, comes to make sense of her overwhelming situation and find a place for herself with Mother Teresa's nuns.
Robert tries to rekindle a relationship with his teenage daughters in their last holiday together before his divorce. He slowly begins to realise that he has lost access to all that he loves, and Emma, his youngest, may be affected in a personal and destructive way.
Estranged from her father, aspiring young songwriter Belle is seduced by the dark hollow promises of the city.
Seventeen Australian directors each create a chapter from the hauntingly beautiful novel by Tim Winton. The linking and overlapping stories explore the extraordinary turning points in ordinary people’s lives. As characters face second thoughts and midlife regret, relationships irretrievably alter, resolves are made or broken and lives change direction forever. This watershed film reinterprets and re-imagines the work for the screen.
A young couple travel to India with the hope of holding their crumbling marriage together by adopting a baby. But in Calcutta they are forced to wait, without any explanations from the adoption agency, leading to the jarring realisation that there are no easy solutions to complex problems. When the adoption finally falls apart due to unforeseen problems, what could have spelled the end of the marriage turns into a journey of discovery and renewal.
