The Girl from Mena Creek
An Australian love story inspired by real events. In 1927, Talia, a young Spanish girl, travels to the cane-cutting region of Far North Queensland, Australia, and settles at Castillo Candela, the domain of fellow Spaniards. There, she meets Alwyn, a young man whom she comes to love and admire. But when they try to marry, Talia's family forbids it because of Alwyn's race. In a bid to make himself more worthy, Alwyn joins the Australian forces in the Pacific, but disappears following his capture by the Japanese. In her loneliness and despair of not knowing Alwyn's whereabouts, Talia finds solace in painting the landscapes of her adopted homeland, clinging to the hope that someday Alwyn will return.
