Watch Cate Blanchett play a renegade nun in the TheNewBoy trailer:
One of the most anticipated Australian films of the year, The New Boy, from acclaimed director Warwick Thornton has released its trailer. Ahead of the film's debut in Australian cinemas on July 6, Thornton's beautifully shot picture tells a moving story of a time when things were being delicately held in balance, a story of the cost of survival and internal spiritual struggles.
The film, which had been selected to screen at Cannes, is set in 1940s Australia, the trailer begins with a nun reading out a letter she had written to a superior. The letter from Sister Eileen, played by Cate Blanchett, began thus, "To the Aboriginal Protector. Mr Crank, I am writing regarding the progress of the new boy you sent us." A young Aboriginal boy can be seen away from a lone horse surrounded by vast sways of barren, dusty land.

Eileen's own faith in her God is also being severely shaken, especially when she discovers that her new charge might possess abilities that defy human logic.
