Synopsis

One of the great Australian classics, <i>Away</i> opens with a school performance of <i>A Midsummer Night’s Dream</i>, 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, <i>Away</i> explores the comedy and tragedy of their lives.
