Samson and Delilah are two 14-year-olds who live in an Aboriginal community near Alice Springs. Samson sniffs petrol every morning before he starts his day and, as something of a routine, plays his brother's guitar on his way out of the house. He lives in a run-down shelter with his brothers band playing similar music, all day, right outside his bedroom. It becomes clear Samson is interested in Delilah, another local girl who lives with her grandmother He throws a rock at her outside the local convenience store, as a way of gaining her attention. In spite of encouragement from her grandmother Delilah is initially not interested in him. Samson spends a day following Delilah around as she takes her grandmother on her daily routine; visiting the health clinic, painting Aboriginal Art and strolling around. [more]
