Filmmaker Warwick Thornton's international success has come at a personal cost. He has reached a crossroad in his life and something has to change. He has chosen to try giving up life in the fast lane for a while, to go it alone, on an isolated beach in one of the most beautiful yet brutal environments in the world, to see if he can transform and heal his life.
Warwick is beginning to face his demons and things are shifting. He tries yoga (but fails miserably) and the chooks have laid their first eggs. But there is still a gnawing feeling of loneliness.

Warwick Thornton is alone and lonely; he is angry for letting himself get to this stage in life. Confused, lethargic and lazy, he forces himself to survive on the beach, alone.
Feeling lost and alone, Warwick realises his journey is harder than expected. He's frustrated at his mistakes, not to mention desperate for a beer or a cigarette, but knows he has to keep going.
Warwick is beginning to face his demons and things are shifting. He tries yoga (but fails miserably) and the chooks have laid their first eggs. But there is still a gnawing feeling of loneliness.
For the first time in a long time, Warwick experiences fleeting moments of happiness. Flashbacks from his old life resurface, but he knows he has to face his demons sooner or later.
Positive changes begin to form in Warwick's mind, body and soul. His hunting and gathering skills have improved and he feels confident enough to go spear fishing in shark and croc-filled waters.
Warwick has changed. You can see it, he can see it. He feels a sense of achievement; he's managed to nail a few yoga poses and his humour is returning. He decides it's finally time to go home.
