Nine stories that embrace the spirit of three towns in the Moyne region in Victoria. Through interviews with the locals and footage of the region and various events, this compilation encapsulates life in Victorian towns today, the reasons for choosing the rural life over the city, activities, concerns and the things that bind these small communities together. Filmed as part of ‘ACMI in the regions’.
