Twonn by people are brought together through the death of a mutual friend and the woman starts seeing parallels in her relationship with the man that the dead woman had. he is kind but detached. He wishes the best for them but holds them at arms length. Bryan Brown's performance is the most complex. his almost wooden quality actually adds to the enigma of his character. Judy Davis is excellent - a woman with a dark cloud over her who in the end may find a scrap of peace. A tiny gem.
