Clip description
Lena (Jamilla Frail) and Vaughn (Luke Carroll) walking on the road. A car pulls up. Vaughn talks to the driver, his friend (Allan Campbell). Lena stands a little distant, disinterested. She looks into the car to see a young mother (Anita Fernando) and a crying baby (Theresa Shields). The driver asks Vaughn if he wants a lift back to the mission – the mish. Vaughn rejects his offer.
Curator’s notes
Tears – the short drama is the prelude to Beneath Clouds that would go on to win an AFI for Sen in 2002 – introduces the young Indigenous characters, as well as their desire to not be constrained by their rural existence and identity.
