ACMI celebrates a great Australian film in a new study guide for VCE students. Lantana blends family melodrama with a murder mystery. The guide invites speculation as to 'whodunnit' and explores the film's moral complexities.

The central characters of this award-winning film are revealed to be adrift in a world that has lost its shape and colour.
