At the center where he gets medication ...( read more  read more... )and treatment he meets another patient, Kate, a high-strung and impulsive young beauty who draws him into her private, magical world. Madly in love, they set up house together after Harry regains his white-collar job.

But Harry and Kate believe the child, a girl they've named Astral, has 'chosen them.'

  • December 5, 2007
    A beautifully acted and moving Australian drama about two emotionally fragile people (John Lynch and Jacqueline McKenzie) who while in rehab fall in love and then find out that they are having a baby, they both decide to get off their medication so that it won't harm their child ...( read more)but it puts both their lives into a loop. Lynch and McKenzie both give excellent and believable performances, the script is well written and the direction is nicely done. Another great Aussie worth checking out!
