To whatever measure your heart aches today, to the same measure it will rejoice tomorrow.

On a mission at the edge of the desert, a girl is born of an Aboriginal mother and an Afghan father. A dark skinned, green eyed, forbidden beauty - she is a reluctant traveller between the worlds of her parents. This is the story of Jila (Alice Haines). Conceived against her mother's will, born between worlds, abandoned by love, cheated by death, removed from her faith and from her place. All her life men decided how she would live, what she would dream, who she would worship, who she would marry. Then she met Johann (Aden Young) and a forbidden love was born.
