PENTIMENTO is based on real events which took place in the Blue Mountains on the outskirts of Sydney, during 1999, involving the discovery of an unidentified body. It fictionalizes these events to dramatize some of the key elements surrounding the murder and the sexual violence which formed its backdrop. It presents these events in the form of recollections from the point of view of a father, sister, brother and the crime scene itself.
