| Lally Black is a psychiatrist who struggles to keep the lid on her doubts about her own funds of compassion. Yu Siying is a Chinese woman who has caught HIV in Australia. Afraid of China's judgement, Siying has one last chance to claim asylum, and believes Lally is the key to her appeal. Lally finds herself enticed into an imagined China, unfolding in the gulf between herself and Siying, causing her to acknowledge the threads that run between complacency and brutality. | |||||

Synopsis: | A small group of underground scientists attempt to re-green the Earths now toxic surface. Authorities will not, however, tolerate dissent, risk or hope. Quiver, a younger scientist, is simply trying to do the right thing by working hard and using her smarts, but she is becomes embroiled in bitter hostilities between two groups of senior scientists while a creepier battle plays out as colleagues and friends are disappeared. Truth here is very relative and memory is just another tool to exploit and control the future. | |||||

Synopsis: | Molly, a well-meaning Australian, arrives one night in a remote mountain town in East Timor with her gift of one thousand second-hand books to start a library for the local children. To her consternation, the household she has been corresponding with does not roll out the welcome she was expecting. Fatima, who runs the household, seems to be fobbing her off with white lies, Albina the matriarch seems vehemently opposed to their guest room being used as a library, cousin Blackie's behaviour is frankly alarming, and the learned Mr Cho is hiding in the roof. Molly agrees to spend her first night in an unsuitable room, but her sleep is interrupted by so many strange comings and goings that she gradually surrenders herself to the unwritten knowledge of her haunted hosts. | |||||

Synopsis: | In a remote coastal town in 1850, young motherless Olley Fletcher is discovered washed up on the shore. She and her fisherman father York went missing in a storm some weeks before and she claims to have no memory of this event. She is taken in by the kindly policeman Dougal Morris who does not press her for details - his wife Dido however is itching after facts, and when the corpse of York Fletcher is caught in a net she insists that an autopsy be ordered. Olley now recalls that her father was killed by a giant squid, who took her underwater for the remainder of her absence. When Dido heaps scorn on this account, Olley gives birth to a child which is half human and half squid. | |||||
