Who you set out to be isn't always who you become. Paul (MacFadyen), a weary war photographer, returns to his remote New Zealand hometown when his father dies. To his surprise, he also finds the sixteen year old Celia (Barclay), the daughter of his first girlfriend, who hungers for the world beyond her small town. But many, including the members of both their families, frown upon the relationship and when Celia goes missing, Paul becomes increasingly persecuted as the prime suspect in her disappearance. As the violent and urgent truth gradually emerges, Paul is forced to confront the family tragedy and betrayal he ran from as a youth, and face the grievous consequences of silence and secrecy that has surrounded his entire adult life. Winner of the International Critics' Award at the 2004 Toronto International Film Festival, based on the novel by Maurice Gee.
