On Valentine's Day in 1900 three school girls and their teacher disappear while on an excursion to Victoria's Hanging Rock, splintering the lives and hearts of those left behind. Weir's cinematic exploration of the Unknown is also a tender treatise on romantic friendship between young women. Lingering glances, gentle caresses and declarations of love from one student to another abound in this beautiful and stunningly photographed film.
