The Alice

Alice Springs is the scene of an enchanting date with destiny. Great planetary forces are at work, drawing people to a total eclipse of the sun - An unorthodox hero seeking the love of his life, a central Australian tour gone wrong, a young romantic lost in the desert, a rogue road train and a young woman having fantasies about killing her drop-kick of a husband...
This is a telemovie that spawned an Australian TV series. The draw for me was Jessica Napier (MCLEOD’S DAUGHTERS) but what captured me was the wonderful weaving of the stories of 5 disparate strangers into a cohesive centre. The characters are all just a little off centre but in a captivating way. Great performances. I’m looking forward to seeing the series, now. I give this telemovie a 7 (good) out of 10. [Drama]
