Plot
Starting in the time period just before the European invasion a tribal elder relates to his fellows a myth; back long before there was a single man who coveted his elder brother's youngest wife... This is a superb telling of an ancient Australian Aboriginal tale; realistic and moving, wry and dramatic, as well as a superb recreation of how our ancestors might have lived.
