description: In the remote Australian outback during World War II the emotionally stunted child of an English couple is befriended by equally adrift strangers. Perdita becomes friends with a deaf and mute boy Billy and an Aboriginal girl Mary. Perdita and Mary soon come to call one another sister and begin to share a profound bond. They are content with life in this barren corner of the world until a terrible event lays waste to their lives. Sorry explores the values of friendship loyalty and sacrifice with a brilliance that has earned Gail Jones numerous accolades.
