| Description | REMEMBRANCE DAY is about an World War Two veteran who fought on the island of East Timor in 1942 and his disillusionment with the Australian government's attitude towards Indonesia's power over East Timor. Veteran Owen Jeffreys is in a repatriation hospital suffering from dengue fever , having just returned from East Timor. he is being cared for by Warren, a male nurse. In Owen's fevered state, the presence of his nurse subconsciously stirs his mind to see figures from his past and present as he tries to reconcile with his sense of shame. In himself. In his own country. For breaking the first rule of the Australian psyche. Loyalty to your mates no matter what. |
