Anecdotes
Writer-producer-director Bill Bennett said of the genesis of this project: "I became intrigued by this place [the Trobriand Islands] at university and when I started to read more about it, the whole notion of sex and freedom within a 'primitive' culture fascinated me, but my reading confirmed my suspicions that it was more complex than was perceived, with strict social and moral codes," says Bennett. "I became fascinated by the role of women and their status and power in a matrilineal society and thought it would be an interesting place to set a love story about scientists in a conventional marriage being affected by the sexual politics of the place."

An epic beyond any other

Bill Bennet's really come of age as a film maker with this masterful epic. Top notch performances from Sewell and Donovan are shadowed by the stunning Strange.

Maya Strange may be unknown to viewers outside Australia, but through small roles in such films as 'Head On' and "McLeod's Daughters" we down in Oz have watched and waited to see her in a role which does justice to her talent. At only 24, she not only carries her own alongside Donovan and Sewell - but also carries the film itself, appearing in almost every scene.

The script by Bennet and his wife Jennifer is layered and complex. The photography, by first time DOP Danny Ruhlmann, is exquisite.
