Ten Canoes

Australia, long, long ago...tribal times. Ten men go out onto the swamp to collect the eggs of 'gumang', the magpie goose.

Dayindi, a young warrior (Jamie Gulpilil) covets the youngest wife of his older brother. To teach him the proper way, he is told a cautionary story from the mythical past - a wild and comic tale of illicit love, kidnapping, sorcery, bungling mayhem and revenge gone wrong.
