Raimond Gaita (1946 - ) comes of age in Frogmore, Victoria in the early 1960s. His parents are immigrants: his Romanian father farms; his German mother, Christina, estranged from Romulus, is in Melbourne. Romulus is near despair when she takes up with the brother of his best friend, who suggests he send for a new wife from back home. For Rai, poverty, bruises, and the mysterious ways of adults compete with his longing for a stable home and his own incipient puberty. Love and madness lie in the same bed. As an old woman tells Rai, "Sometimes what you reckon and what you get ain't the same thing."
Actor Richard Roxburgh makes a smooth transition to directing with this moving drama adapted from Raimond Gaita's memoir. Eric Bana (MUNICH) stars as Romulus, a Yugoslavian man who struggles to raise his young son alone in Victoria, Australia. After the family moves from Europe, his wife's depression takes over and she leaves her husband and son alone to fend for themselves in the foreign country. Franka Potente (THE BOURNE IDENTITY) plays the absent mother, while Marton Csokas and Russell Dykstra costar.
Longtime Australian actor Richard Roxburgh makes his directorial debut with this adaptation of Raimond Gaita's acclaimed memoir, adapted for the screen by poet Nick Drake and starring Eric Bana, Franka Potente, and Kodi Smit-McPhee. Despite their hardships in life, Romulus (Bana) and his beautiful wife, Christina (Potente), struggle to raise their son, Raimond (Smit-McPhee), to the best of their abilities. As the deeply moral Romulus struggles to make up for the absence and neglect of the boy's depressive mother, father and son build an unbreakable bond that is only strengthened with the passing of time.
Romulus (Eric Bana), een Roemeense immigrant, probeert het beste te maken van zijn leven op het Australische platteland. Voor zijn 10-jarige zoontje Rai is hij een grote held, voor zijn vrouw Christina (Franka Potente) is hij een mislukkeling. Christina heeft het gezin verlaten en woont in Melbourne. Wanneer zij samen met haar minnaar terugkeert, ontstaat een verwarrende en moeilijke periode voor vader en zoon. Romulus houdt zich sterk, maar naarmate de geestelijke toestand van Christina labieler wordt, ziet Rai zijn vader veranderen in een emotioneel wrak. Is er verlossing mogelijk?
An immigrant family heads to Australia to start a new life. When the young boy's mother dies his father teaches him lessons about life
