The Plains
Australia | 2022 | 180 Min | English | Documentary | Hebrew & English Subtitles
Every evening a man in his late 50s commutes home at the end of the working day in the outer suburbs of Melbourne. As the seasons pass in gentle rhythm, we observe dramatic events of his life as well as mundane quotidian details, and learn more about the man, his inner conflicts, and the relationships in his life—with his wife, his mother, deceased sister, and a younger co-worker whom he occasionally drives home. Within the microcosm of the car the film ultimately becomes a meditation on the passage of time, memory, work, and how love and the relationships in our life sustain us.
