“It has no heroes, just ordinary people and multiple journeys, yet it lacks nothing in emotional impact or narrative drive.”~Paul Byrnes, The Sydney Morning Herald

Aroview: Set in hot and desolate Western Australia, this tells its story of a runaway teenager and her parents endeavours to track her down from multiple perspectives.

Perhaps less a mystery that's suggested in the title than about characters finding grace with a small "g", writer-director Sue Brooks (JAPANESE STORY, ROAD TO NHILL) bolsters her drama with charming comedic nuggets before settling in unexpected earnest.
