In 1944, returning soldiers Canning Christie and his father, Michael, arrive in South Australia, each carrying their own burdens from the war. Canning, scarred by trauma and haunted by fragmented memories, finds solace in the land and the idea of creating a vineyard. As he bonds with Grace Huntley, the daughter of a local landowner, Canning’s journey toward healing becomes intertwined with his need to confront his past – and the fractured relationship with his reckless father – before it destroys everything he’s built.
Share your thoughts: How do you think Canning’s struggle with trauma shapes his ability to move forward? Is reconciling with the past essential for healing, or can we move on without fully understanding it?
