Robert Connolly’s striking coming-of-age tale introduces us to Abby, a girl who befriends a wild blue groper while out diving. When she realises the fish’s very survival is under threat, she joins forces with her mum to take on the poachers who pose a threat to it. What emerges is a powerful and emotional cry from the heart in support of marine life, adapted from Tim Winton’s much-loved and bestselling novel. The film features two of Australia’s best-known actors - Mia Wasikowska and Radha Mitchell - in leading roles as women devoted to protecting the world’s oceans. They’re joined by the charismatic Eric Bana in a supporting role.
