Homesick Willy is expelled from his Catholic boarding school in Perth and embarks on the long road-trip home to Broome and Djarindjin, with a crew of irreverent, larger-than-life characters. He is in search of identity, love and belonging. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the surface a simple story,\u003ci\u003e Bran Nue Dae\u003c\/i\u003e explores darker truths of the era from an Aboriginal perspective.
