Dead Heart background

Dead Heart

In the heart of outback Australia, a deeply divided Aboriginal settlement struggles with internal rifts, testing the limits of community and pushing relationships to the breaking point.

In the desert village of Wala Wala, a death in a police lock-up sparks tensions between Aboriginal traditions and Australian law. A local lawman's attempt to restore order through a traditional "pay back" ceremony sets off a chain of conflicts, including a murder that arises from a forbidden love affair.
