Arriving in Australia, the couple are befriended by neighbours and Lawrence's character is drawn into "politics and red hot treason". He is compelled, as a writer, to write of it and this is his downfall, as the men around him see this as a betrayal.

The film asks questions about the meaning of relationships - especially male camaraderie, and takes a close look at how ideologies evolve into violence.

A pity it's not better known. I recommend it.
