I've watched this 3-4 times. It's a story about a young woman, Cora, with an amazingly overbearing controlling mother, and how she figures out what she wants, instead of what Mom wants. To get away, she takes off to her aunt's house in Australia, where the locals are fun and real. The scenery is beautiful. The locals are quirky and kind. Cora is a little spoiled and a little immature, but has a chance to grow up, spending time with down-to-earth honest people with real struggles and problems. They let her be herself, good or bad. She's allowed to take the lead, be creative, and succeed or fail, on her own merits.
