Adrian Russell Wills, a Wonnarua man, and Gillian Moody, a Wodi Wodi woman, have been best friends for more than two decades. When they first met while making a short film together, these kindred spirits felt an undeniable connection. Both were Aboriginal children adopted by white families in Sydney's northern suburbs - and, later in life, they each shared similar desires to reconnect with their bloodlines. In this moving documentary, Wills and Moody recount their emotional searches for love and belonging, providing an intimate journey into isolation and identity for two individuals who continue to navigate the complexities of living in two different worlds.
