Synopsis

"I swim, I work, I sleep" - Tracy Heart

How do you learn to love again when the pain of the past won't let you go? When you're 32 with a troubled history and a doubtful future, it's a question that isn't so easy to answer. And for Tracy Heart (Cate Blanchett), it's a question she can no longer ignore.

After four years of treading water and redeeming herself in the eyes of her hard-working single mother (Noni Hazlehurst), she has set herself the humble goal of owning her own business.

But the unexpected return of her ex-boyfriend Jonny (Dustin Nguyen), the criminal aspirations of her brother Ray (Martin Henderson) and the emotional draw of troubled family friend and ex-football star Lionel Dawson (Hugo Weaving) creates friction for Tracy. Her dream soon becomes tangled with criminal boss Bradley "The Jockey" Thompson (Sam Neill), with shattering consequences. As a result, Tracy's bond of trust with her mother Janelle is tested and she has to confront her fears to find happiness.

A story about families. About lies. And about learning to love again. Academy Award® winning actress Cate Blanchett (THE AVIATOR, ELIZABETH, THE MISSING, VERONICA GUERIN, THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY), Hugo Weaving (THE MATRIX) and Sam Neill (JURASSIC PARK, THE PIANO) join rising star Martin Henderson (BRIDE AND PREJUDICE, TORQUE, THE RING), Dustin Nguyen (21 JUMP STREET, THE DOOM GENERATION) and an acclaimed Australian and New Zealand cast including Noni Hazlehurst, Lisa McCune, Susie Porter and Joel Tobeck.
