True Love and Chaos

Mimi decides to return home to Perth to reconcile with her mother and learn the name of her father. She hopes her boyfriend Hanif will accompany her, but he stalls, torn between support and commitment. The journey is framed as a road trip that will test their relationship.

Hanif cares for Mimi but avoids making firm plans, signaling his lingering insecurity about their future together. He is slowed by fear of commitment even as the trip looms.

Hanif and his lovesick friend Dean steal drugs from Dean's violent brother Jerry's stash. Jerry learns of the theft and sets out in hot pursuit, fueled by anger and a desire for revenge.

To avoid capture, Hanif and Dean join Mimi on the road west toward Perth. The plan is to escape the danger back in Melbourne while keeping the theft secret.

On the road, Mimi displays clear signs that she is pregnant, though Hanif is slow to grasp the seriousness and implications of the situation. The knowledge adds strain to their already fragile relationship.

Morris, a charming cynic and alcoholic singer, enters the journey after wandering in. He brings a new dynamic and a Leonard Cohen/Nick Cave-style presence to the caravan.

Mimi talks about never knowing her father and the dream of a better life in music. Morris encourages her to take her singing seriously, while Hanif grows increasingly jealous of the bond forming between Mimi and Morris.

In a small town, Mimi wins a karaoke contest, boosting her confidence. Morris makes a romantic advance toward Mimi, complicating the trio's dynamics and leaving Mimi unsettled.

Jerry suddenly reappears and tries to run them off the road, turning the trip into a perilous confrontation. Mimi demands honesty from Hanif as the tension between them escalates.

Dean finally confesses that he stole Jerry's drugs, revealing the full extent of the theft. Mimi learns she is pregnant and ends things with Hanif, while Hanif realises the gravity of the life growing inside her.

The group reaches Perth and Mimi tells her mother she no longer cares about knowing her father's identity and plans to keep the child. The emotional decision marks a new direction for her life.

Morris unexpectedly arrives at Hannah's house, and Mimi learns that Morris is her father. Upset by the revelation, she runs off into the night.

Hanif and Dean find Mimi outside their hotel; Hanif confesses his love, but Mimi reveals Morris as her father. Jerry traps the trio in a park, and violence erupts as they try to survive the aftermath.

Blood is spilled in the chaos, and the survivors must learn to live with the consequences of their actions. The film closes with a sense of hard-won, fragile resilience.
