A teenage city-girl and her young brother, stranded in the Australian outback, are rescued by an adolescent Aborigine boy on a “walkabout” (a survival ritual leading to his transition into manhood). A visually stunning work about the tenuous bond formed between these three characters, Walkabout is ultimately a heartbreaking story of missed opportunities, with both immediate consequences and longer aftereffects. – Baal T’shuvah
