Description An exquisite tale of love, magic and mysticism, set against the spectacular backdrop of Arnhem Land's northern floodplains, as the drama of the annual goose hunting season unfolds. When the first cracks of lightning strike to punctuate the start of the wet season and the geese take flight, the hunters arrive and a delicate young gosling is caught between two worlds; thwarted by evil and spurred on by love in a story resonant of Swan Lake.
