Synopsis

One of the great Australian classics, Away opens with a school performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and the timeless Shakespearean themes of suffering, regeneration and reconciliation persist.

It’s Christmas in 1967 and time to re-enact the rituals of the summer holiday.

Three Australian families set out separately but are driven together by a storm.

At times funny and yet painfully truthful, Away explores the comedy and tragedy of their lives.
