When an Afghani woman (Monic Hendrickx) turns up on his doorstep – desperate, badly beaten and speaking no English – John takes her in. Not wishing to involve the police, who have treated him with suspicion due to the circumstances of his wife’s death, John attempts to keep Tahmeena’s presence a secret, which is a challenge in small rural town, full of nosy neighbours. Unsure of each other at first, the pair slowly learn to communicate, as threads of each other’s stories come undone. The film is officially released tomorrow but film buffs may be interested in attending a premiere screening tonight at Palace Centro, followed by a Q&A with William McInnes.
