'Half Way is the half waypoint between here and there, where you can drive for half a day and see nothing. In the middle of this remoteness Harriet and Wes keep a pub ticking over. But there's something not quite right. There are things unspoken; truths concealed. She's trapped in the landscape; he's got a plan. Sabrina rocks in with new ideas, development and chaos. She's going to drag Half Way into the modern world. But development is no match for nature. Ghosts are unearthed and the landscape comes alive, spewing forth it's long held secrets and Harriet's past is dragged screaming and kicking to life. Part realism, part metaphor "Half Way There" explores life, love, change and loss. It juxtaposes the earthly with the unearthly. Source : www.jute.com.au (Sighted 14/07/2009).
