Synopsis

In 1970s Australia, Grace’s life is troubled by misfortune and loss.
After their mother dies during pregnancy, she and her twin brother,
Gilbert, are raised by their paraplegic-alcoholic former juggler
father, Percy. Despite a life filled with love, tragedy strikes anew
when Percy passes away in his sleep. The siblings are forcibly
separated and thrust into separate homes. Gilbert finds himself
in the care of a cruel evangelical family, while Grace, grappling
with intense loneliness, gradually withdraws into her shell, much
like the snails she adopts. As the years pass, and despite new
disappointments and sorrows, a glimmer of hope emerges when
she strikes up an enduring friendship with an elderly eccentric
woman called Pinky.
