Winner of the Cannes Camera d'Or and set against the backdrop of an Australian desert landscape, Samson & Delilah is a captivating teenage love story about finding true love in the contexts of class and aboriginal culture. Everything in Samson and Delilah's indigenous community happens in a cycle; day in and day out nothing changes in their isolated, selectively Westernized neighborhood. When tragedy strikes, Samson and Delilah turn their backs on home and embark on a journey of survival and discovery. Bound by hunger, rejection, social identity and devotion, the young lovers discover that life outside their community can be cruel and unfair. Still their hearts flourish.
