The Eye of the Storm | Synopsis

In the Sydney suburb of Centennial Park, two nurses, a housekeeper and a solicitor attend to Elizabeth Hunter as her expatriate son and daughter convene at her deathbed. But in dying, as in living, Mrs. Hunter remains a powerful force on those who surround her. Based on the novel by Nobel Prize winner Patrick White, “The Eye of the Storm” is a savage exploration of family relationships – and the sharp undercurrents of love and hate, comedy and tragedy, which define them.
