A visually stunning, emotionally intense exploration of desire and agency set against a harsh colonial landscape, where a mute woman's forbidden passion collides with domestic violence and cultural displacement.

When an arranged marriage brings Ada and her spirited pre-teen daughter Flora to the wilderness of 19th-century New Zealand, she finds herself locked in a battle of wills with both her controlling husband and a rugged frontiersman to whom she develops a forbidden attraction.
