Adrift (2006)

Overview

Thomas is a wayward young Aboriginal boy influenced by the gangs of suburban Perth. After being involved in minor offences, his mother decides to take him to stay with his grandfather. New to the life of a country town and unsure of where he fits in, Thomas finds himself drawn to the land of his mothers' people. Taking Thomas fishing, in an attempt to bond with his urban and distant grandson, Pop tells him stories of the land and shows him a quieter and cultural way of life. The stories set Thomas off on a personal adventure that ultimately brings Thomas and his Pop closer.
