Sunday Too Far Away

In the harsh Australian outback of 1955, Jack Thompson stars as Foley, a talented yet hard-drinking gun shearer, amidst a battle for top honors and his place in the community. As he faces off against newcomer Arthur Black (Peter Cummins), Foley's life is further complicated by the arrival of non-union labour threatening their bonuses, leading to violent confrontations. The film explores the camaraderie, life, and struggles of Australian male culture, centered around the sheep-shearing world that its title "Sunday Too Far Away" poignantly captures.
