This visually stunning love story centres on two self-destructive teenagers — petrol-sniffing Samson and the feisty Delilah — who live in a ramshackle village on a remote Aboriginal reserve. They communicate non-verbally, but deeply expressively, and it’s clear that they rely on each other to get by, particularly once they flee to Alice Springs and set up home under a bridge with a kindly alcoholic. The sparse storytelling has a brutal narrative simplicity and the texture of a parable. This tender portrait gives a rare glimpse
into life on the edge of destitution with a ray of hope at the end of a difficult journey.
