Dirt Music (2020)

In the heart-pounding adaptation of Tim Winton's acclaimed novel, Dirt Music, directed by Gregor Jordan, the breathtaking vistas of Western Australia serve as the canvas for a tale brimming with love, loss, and redemption. Georgie (Kelly Macdonald), a one-time sailor, nurse, and diver, finds herself emotionally stranded in a remote fishing town, trapped in a hollow relationship with the town's revered fisherman, Jim Buckridge (David Wenham). She exists in the shadows of his departed wife and their sons, unable to fill the void left behind. Georgie's stagnant world takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Lu (Garrett Hedlund), an enigmatic loner, former musician, and occasional poacher.

As Georgie dares to risk everything for this newfound love, Lu, haunted by a tragic accident from his past, remains guarded, reluctant to let her in.
