Movie propaganda

Love can turn you upside-down.

Seeking work in the snowfields of Jindabyne, Heidi (Abbie Cornish), aged 16, meets a sympathetic motel owner, Irene (Lynette Curran), who offers her a place to stay. In her naive manner, Heidi meets Joe (Sam Worthington), a wealthy farmer's son. Clinging onto what the relationship could possibly offer her, Heidi gives herself to Sam, only to be disappointed when her feelings are not reciprocated. To overcome her internal struggles, confusing sexual intimacy with love, Heidi seeks to respond to her past and to the hurt she has caused others.
