This is the first film in Australian history to be filmed in an Aboriginal language, and the actors in the film are all local Aboriginal people. Since these "actors" have neither acting experience nor speak English, it is conceivable that director Love de Hill must have overcome many difficulties to finish the film. The story of the film takes place before Europeans came to Australia, and tells the story of how an older brother teaches his younger brother the right path in life. The whole film is full of gags, reflecting the cheerful and open-minded nature of the indigenous people and their carefree and happy life.
