Land (2020)

As their desperation grows and structure deteriorates, the new rules of this hostile world become clear. There are none. No man's land. A rift in time. Eight young adults find refuge in each other, an attempted normalcy in their war-torn world under the watchful leadership of Aya. When a stranger arrives, the group is forced to face the reality of their circumstances: trapped, with sickness slowly spreading and running out of food. Land, inspired by the unspoken trauma of placelessness, investigates the curious temporal space created when there is no longer such a thing as 'home'. What happens when we have nothing to define us but ourselves, who we are at this exact moment? Ruby Rees (Picnic at Hanging Rock) directs an outstanding ensemble starring Thalía Dudek, Karl Richmond, Lara Robinson, Ben Walter, Nic Davey-Greene, Laura McCluskey, Francesca Sweeney-Nash and Zoe Hawkins in this nail-biting exploration into what defines the lives of those walking the dangerous line between light and dark in an attempt to relearn what it is to be themselves.
