She has been told that she is French-Polynesian and that there is no record of her birth parents beyond knowledge of their nationality. The truth is that she is born of her adoptive father, Doug Cutler, and an Aboriginal woman called Alice Wilson, who lives locally. A land dispute with the indigenous community where Alice lives brings her back in contact with Ann's father, who is responsible for representing the issue to the local government. Alice states her wish to be reunited with Ann, whose Aboriginal name is Lo-Arna, forcing Doug Cutler to reveal the truth to Ann. Ann's trusting relationship with her parents changes dramatically when the situation is explained to her. She feels conflicted and insecure, and attempts to resolve her emotional turmoil by establishing contact with Alice. Ann drives to Alice's home, but when she arrives there she finds the situation too confronting and turns to leave. Alice chases after Ann's car as she drives away. The film ends when Ann stops the car to finally meet her birth mother. See less
