The story
There is no dialogue in the film. The story is instead told in its imagery. The boy and girl siblings in the story (Banduk and Yalumul) realise that the ice-cream van owners are smuggling native animals out of Australia, including one of the Yolngu sacred animals, the red-collared lorikeet, or lindrij.
