UNFINISHED SKY
by Peter Duncan
Australia 2007 35 mm 91 min. OV

When Tahmeena stumbles onto John’s isolated farm, he has no choice but to take her in. An illegal refugee, she’s been badly beaten and speaks no English. Still mourning the death of his wife, John doesn’t welcome visitors, but he waits for Tahmeena to heal so he can send her on her way. So begins a reluctant voyage of mutual discovery as these two strangers learn to communicate and connect. As the layers of mistrust and hurt are peeled away, a love affair – passionate and poetic – unfolds to reveal the beauty of freedom, hope and choice. But John and Tahmeena can’t stay hidden away on the farm forever. But eventually the men who think they own Tahmeena come looking for her – and they won’t leave without her.
UNFINISHED SKY is based on the Golden Globe-nominated Dutch film THE POLISH BRIDE, with Monic Hendrickx playing the leading female role in both of the films.
„Beautifully performed by McInnes and Hendrickx with barely constrained emotion and directed with confidence and maturity by Peter Duncan, this is the best Australian film so far this year.“ (Peter Crayford, Australian Financial Review 2007)
