A middle age couple moves with their children to isolated outback town called Naghtgara where children go missing routinely. The town exists in a vacuum and it has no apparent reason for beginning. The family is not happy with the new surrounding. It becomes evident that the couple and family is highly dysfunctional.

The husband played by Joseph Fiennes is also inattentive and uninterested in his attractive wife played by Nicole Kidman. Lilly, the young teen daughter, is sexually provocative to point of making the viewer uneasy. But why is she this way? Her brother is distant and cold. But why is he this way? Slowly the desert heat builds and one can begin to discover that family has secrets. The kids disappear during huge dust storm and we begin unravel the whys to our questions. Great acting all the way around and Hugo Weaving steals the show with his rugged Australia outback cop portrayal. The cinematography was excellent it conveys the harsh reality of the outback and small towns anywhere. This is steeped symbolism and an ambiguous ending.
