Website (with trailer): http://colony.org.au/laka-story/

Laka is a cross cultural love story that starts with a first kiss in Sydney, Australia, and ends with a birth in the remote Arnhem land bush. For too many years Lily, a Yolngu woman from the Northern Territory, has suppressed her yearning to go home. Now heavily pregnant, visions of her ancestral land have taken over her waking life. Lily believes it’s her unborn child calling out to her, entreating her to be born on country.
