Beneath Clouds is a character driven drama with two great performances by the lead actors. Lena(Danielle Hall) hides the fact that her mother is Aboriginal and only recognizes the whiteness of her Irish father.
Vaughn(Damian Pitt) is a young Black man who escapes from a prison farm in order to visit his dying mother in Sydney.
Along the road the two meet up and it becomes a road trip with the pair on screen for a majority of the movie. Vaughn lectures Lena on the horrible racial history of their nation. His partner idealizes her father and says that she wishes to leave Australia to live in Ireland.
My only complaint is the lack of subtitles and at times, this American had trouble understanding the Aussie accents.
Danielle Hall and Damian Pitt make Beneath Clouds a worthy film.
