Synopsis:
Rhoda, a white foster mother, and Jimmy, her 17-year-old Torres Strait Islander foster son, arrive from interstate at Rhoda's family home for a Christmas reunion/reconciliation. The Children's Services Department is threatening to re-institutionalise Jimmy ( who suffers from physical and mental disabilities) when he turns 18, and a desperate Rhoda hopes for help in avoiding this from her parents and from Jimmy's birth mother, Flo, who is sick in hospital. But Rhonda's long-estranged parents, Cake-tin and Theodolite, are less than welcoming. And when Jimmy, his brother Dennis and sister-in-law Dolly return to Rhoda's parental home after a night out, the difficulties - or impossibilities - of such reconciliations become starkly apparent.
