đ THE TRAVELLERS â A Heartfelt Homecoming Arrives October 9, 2025
"You can leave home. But can you ever really leave the past?"From Oscar-nominated director Bruce Beresford (Driving Miss Daisy, Breaker Morant) comes THE TRAVELLERS â a gentle, poignant, and at times wickedly funny drama that explores love, family, memory, and the impossible act of returning home.
Premiering in cinemas October 9, 2025, this Australian feature film is a heartfelt journey into the chaos of reconnection, starring Luke Bracey, Bryan Brown, and Susie Porter, with a standout ensemble cast including Shubshri Kandiah, Celia Massingham, and Nicholas Hammond.
đŹ Synopsis: When Past and Present Collide
Stephen Seary (played by Luke Bracey) is at the top of his game â a successful stage designer living in Europe, working on grand opera productions and leading a carefully curated life of independence and distance. But when news arrives that his mother is dying, Stephen is pulled back to his rural Australian hometown.
What begins as a short, obligatory visit spirals into a mess of old wounds, unresolved relationships, and laugh-out-loud dysfunction. Stephen must confront his estranged, no-nonsense father (Bryan Brown), reconnect with former lovers, and face the friends and failures he left behind.
Through grief, awkward reunions, and even a surprise twist or two, Stephen finds that sometimes moving forward means finally standing still.
â A Stellar Australian Ensemble
Luke Bracey (Holidate, Elvis) brings both vulnerability and charm to the role of Stephen, a man torn between the grand stages of Europe and the messy, meaningful realities of home.
Bryan Brown (Cocktail, Palm Beach) shines as Stephenâs tough-as-nails father, delivering emotional punch with trademark Aussie grit.
Susie Porter (Wentworth, East West 101) plays a family friend and voice of wisdom, grounding the drama with heart and honesty.
With supporting roles by Shubshri Kandiah, Celia Massingham, and Nicholas Hammond, the cast rounds out a rich, authentic portrait of small-town Australia and the connections that define us.
đ„ A Bruce Beresford Film
Written and directed by Bruce Beresford, The Travellers carries the masterful touch of a filmmaker who understands the subtle, human side of storytelling. Like his best work, this film blends emotional complexity with warmth, humor, and sincerity.
Beresfordâs eye for family dynamics, cultural nuance, and the quiet heartbreaks of life ensures that The Travellers will resonate long after the credits roll.
