Bastard (2007)

Two lives…

One has a chauffeur, limousine, personal assistant, two mobile phones and millions in over draft. The other has no job, no luck, no money and a bucket full of fish.

Together they strike a chord… Aboriginal, black Australia and white, non-indigenous Australia rarely find each other in the same neighborhood let alone the same time zone. By taking some time out, to relax and have a medicinal toke, because they’re both having a “Bastard” of a day!

Jacky and Harry bridge the apparent gap between their lives and find an unexpected moment of connection.
