Raimond Gaita (1946 - ) comes of age in Frogmore, Victoria in the early 1960s. His parents are immigrants: his Romanian father farms; his German mother, Christina, estranged from Romulus, is in Melbourne. Romulus is near despair when she takes up with the brother of his best friend, who suggests he send for a new wife from back home. For Rai, poverty, bruises, and the mysterious ways of adults compete with his longing for a stable home and his own incipient puberty. Love and madness lie in the same bed. As an old woman tells Rai, "Sometimes what you reckon and what you get ain't the same thing." 这个妈，没有更好！。爸爸，我和你在路边撒尿。For the Luck。上半部有點悶 下半部催淚。一首忧郁的散文诗。上乘表演讲述淡淡乡愁。营火闪光。The Portrait of a Father。 故事发生在上世纪五十年代的澳大利亚乡间，罗穆卢斯（艾瑞克·巴纳 Eric Bana 饰）和儿子雷蒙德（柯蒂·斯密特-麦菲 Kodi Smit-McPhee 饰）在这里过着相依为命的日子，贫瘠的环境和拮据的经济让父子两人的生活常常陷入无以为继的困顿之中，不仅如此，他们的母亲克里斯蒂娜（弗兰卡·波坦特 Franka Potente 饰）是一个毫无责任感的女人，常常离家出走，还和罗穆卢斯的好友米图（Russell Dykstra 饰）厮混在一起。 克里斯蒂娜腹中怀上了米图的孩子，可尽管如此，罗穆卢斯还是一心一意的为这他们的家庭劳作着，付出着。最终，克里斯蒂娜和米图之间的感情破裂了，她再度回到了家中，却在不久之后选择了自杀。
