Review of Beneath Clouds (2002) by Holly P — 18 Dec 2007
Lena (Danielle Hall) is a fair-skinned Aboriginal girl living in a small isolated country New South Wales town. She longs for the Irish father she never really knew. One day she decides to leave the town, hitting the road with little money, a backpack and a photo of her dad.
Vaughn (Damian Pitt) is an Aboriginal teenage boy in a minimum-security prison. He is hardened by his anger at the world and spends his days woking in the prison pine plantation. He is disconnected from his family, but news of his mother's illness prompts him to break out of prison in the hope of reaching her before it is to late.
Vaughn meets Lena at a truck stop on the road to Sydney. Initially both are suspicious and wary of each other, but their journey, mostly on foot and the odd lift, brings them closer to their search for purpose, identity and love.
