In 1940s Australia, a 9-year-old Aboriginal orphan boy arrives in the dead of night at a remote monastery run by a renegade nun (Cate Blanchett). Unlike other orphans who are given an Anglo-Saxon name, the New Boy remains “the New Boy” and his ‘otherness’ becomes more and more apparent as his unusual powers are revealed. Soon, his presence begins to disturb the delicately balanced world the nuns have carefully built.

Warwick Thornton's Cannes-selected new film stars Cate Blanchett and Deborah Mailman in a beguiling story of spiritual struggle and the cost of survival.

Filmography: Sweet Country (2017), We Don't Need a Map (2017), The Dark Side (2013), Samson & Delilah (2009).
