Andrew Rovenko, The Heiress (SINGLE SHOT 2023)

Being a first generation immigrant, you never truly fit in. But you hope that your Australian-born child will, and for this new life - the old country's culture no longer seems relevant. Last year changed everything. The senseless attack on what I remember as first home brought grief and heartache. But with horrors of the war also came the bravery, sacrifice, ingenuity and resilience of my original nation, determined to persevere despite all atrocities. Because this is a part of our character, part of our culture. And culture is the most important inheritance to pass on, I see it now.
