Synopsis:
When Tahmeena (Monic Hendrickx) stumbles onto John’s (William McInnes) isolated farm, he has no choice but to take her in. She’s been badly injured and speaks no English. While John’s not inclined to welcome visitors, not since the suspicious death of his wife, he’s even less inclined to involve the police. So he goes about his business as he waits for her to heal when he plans to send her on her way.
An initially reluctant voyage of mutual discovery begins as these two strangers gradually learn to communicate and connect.
Tahmeena brings the homestead back to life, reopening John’s eyes to the beauty of his land. In return, John does his best to track down the lost daughter she sent ahead before herself fleeing Afghanistan.
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. They won’t be truly free until they venture out. And when they do, the men who think they own Tahmeena come looking for her … and they won’t leave without her.
Starring Australia’s William McInnes (Look Both Ways) and Holland’s Monic Hendrickx (Nynke), and written and directed by Peter Duncan (Children of the Revolution), Unfinished Sky is a superbly layered love story for grown ups, set against the rugged and tense beauty of country Australia.
Unfinished Sky explores the nature of loss and the language of love. It’s about finding the courage to trust again, the risks we take to protect those close to us and the devastating consequences of small town secrets.
Discover why Australian film festival audiences have voted UNFINISHED SKY an audience favourite at every festival in which it has screened.

There is something extra about seeing the land you love to explore in a film with the people you love as Australians in it.

This film is really worth seeing, if just for the tender imagery. For the most part, until the overwrought end, I felt like I was inside the frame, right inside the images.

I saw the film last week and it is brilliant. A must to see, so Australian, doesn’t pull any punches.
