Walkabout

"Walkabout" is a compelling drama about two city-raised siblings who are left stranded in the harsh Australian outback after their father attempts to kill them and then himself. Forced to survive on their own, they encounter an Aboriginal boy on his walkabout, who teaches them how to live off the land. The film poignantly explores themes of survival, cultural clash, and the tension between modern life and nature.
