Movie propaganda

To love, sometimes we must risk everything.

When Tahmeena (Monic Hendrickx) stumbles onto John's (William McInnes) isolated farm, he has no choice but to take her in. An illegal refugee, she's been badly beaten and speaks no English. Still mourning the death of his wife, John doesn't welcome visitors but he waits for Tahmeeena to heal so he can send her on her way. So begins a reluctant voyage of mutual discovery as these two strangers learn to communicate and connect. But eventually the men who think they own Tahmeena come looking for her… and they won't leave without her.

Based on the Golden Globe-nominated Dutch film The Polish bride, Unfinished sky peels away layers of hurt and mistrust to reveal the beauty of freedom, hope and choice.

The Australia, drama movie Unfinished sky is directed by Peter Duncan and stars William McInnes, Monic Hendrickx, David Field.
