This film follows a course of events set in motion by the interpretation of a dream. The protagonist and her husband had just settled into the life of retirees in a picturesque western Australian town. This apparent tranquillity was shattered by a waking dream, a vision by which Pat Nunn was being summoned by her ancestors in her native South Africa. As a woman of mixed heritage-deemed "coloured" in the parlance of South Africa-the practical ambiguities of this spiritual message awakened ghosts both personal and public. With a national policy of racial separation, those in the netherworld of "in between" suffer a kind of social amnesia-which occludes the past, silences inquietude, and obscures efforts to transcend boundaries. We are guided in this journey by the filmmaker, Pat Nunn's daughter, who follows her mother's peregrination with an increasing sense of comprehension, compassion, and spiritual release.-Thor Anderson
