Mother's Gold

Is what you seek precious?

In the late 1950s, a grieving widow in a remote Australian town receives a small gold nugget at her husband’s funeral. Unbeknownst to her, this token will tether her and her young son, Quinn, to a reclusive landowner for decades.

Five years later, ten-year-old Quinn and his mother move to Edithburra, an isolated Victorian town. There, she works for a war-scarred man clinging to his own gold nugget. As his drinking spirals, Quinn endures a cruel teacher and growing turmoil at home, leading to their flight from Edithburra—and the loss of his mother’s treasured nugget.

In his late twenties, Quinn returns to confront his past, uncover long-buried secrets, and reclaim his mother’s gold. But will his journey heal old wounds, or will he discover something far more precious?

Mother’s Gold is a moving tale of generational trauma, forgiveness, and the triumph of light over darkness.
