    Mysterious Film About a Mystery

    Why is there so much mystery around this film? For decades, this film didn't exist on IMDb at all. I can't imagine why. The nonexistence of this film was consistent on IMDb; it wasn't listed as a film, nor was it included in the filmography of the main actors, like John Hargreaves. I have alerted IMDb to this mistake multiple times, but they never responded or made any changes.

    And I personally watched that film on television.

    A few years ago, the film quietly appeared on IMDb. Without a description, without a rating, without user reviews, and without critic reviews.

    This is another film about mysterious Australia. The plot revolves around a kid who mysteriously disappears and a mother who is searching for him. It's worth watching, in my humble opinion.
