It’s 1990 and an Indonesian fishing boat abandons Iraqi and Cambodian refugees in a remote part of Western Australia. While most are quickly caught by officials, three men with nothing in common but their misfortune and determination escape arrest, begin an epic journey into the heart of Australia. Pursued by an Army reservist unit, our three heroes wander deeper into the desert, desperately searching for civilisation amongst the stones of the Pilbara. A bittersweet comedy about distance, difference and dud maps.

Set in the far north of Australia the film was actually filmed mostly in South Australia at Parachilna, Leigh Creek and Coffin Bay.

"It’s a wry, perceptive and wily piece of filmmaking, a comic parable for our times. " PAUL BYRNES, SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
