John Croall was a Glaswegian immigrant to Australia, who delivered 3 generations of babies and planted thousands of trees in Whyalla. His daughter Heather films with him as a way of coping with his approaching death and reflecting on the close, and often very funny, relationship between father and daughter. This opens up an exploration that transcends individual grief and loss, to encompass the broader issues raised by a man's life. As John Croall is dying, so the town of Whyalla is slowly dying too. But on the horizon, there is hope.
