A Town Like Alice (1956)
Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog veroveren de Japanners in snel tempo Brits grondgebied in Azië. De mannen worden naar gevangenkampen gestuurd, maar een grote groep vrouwen en kinderen worden op een lange, wrede reis te voet gestuurd door Maleisië. Sommige sterven, anderen worden gemarteld. Één van de vrouwen raakt bevriend met een Australische man, tevens krijgsgevangene, die haar verteld over een idyllisch plaatsje in Australië.
