“Don't go so far out that you can't find your way back.”

DramaRomance

Tom is a British chef in a Bondi restaurant who seems to have decided there are no longer any rules he needs to obey. Whatever Tom is up to, his actions seem to be tolerated by those around him. As Tom descends into darkness, fragments of a different story begin to emerge. All the women in his world are trying in their own, very different ways to help put him back together.

VIBE

A quiet, contemplative film that explores the lingering ache of loss and the tentative steps toward rebuilding a life. It feels like a warm, sad hug, punctuated by moments of gentle humor and human connection.
