About This Girl in the Desert
Sam, 26, wakes up in the early hours of the morning to see her dead little brother, Darren, at the end of her bed. Today is the first anniversary of his death - a year to the day from that Kodak moment when she walked into the kitchen of their rural property, to discover her little brother's blood and brains splattered all over the kitchen ceiling, walls, floor and doors. With the ghost of Darren commentating on her every move, Sam embarks on a night to forget. With her gay best friend, Andreas, by her side, she goes clubbing, take drugs and travels into the underworld. Where Sam confronts Darren one last time.
Directed by Rebecca Parker, This Girl in the Desert leans on a strong ensemble — Emma Randall, Roberto Meza-Mont, Peter Barry — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2006.
