James Cunningham's short film MONTSERRAT offers a poignant and introspective portrait of the Australian immigrant experience, encapsulated through the daily life of a solitary tradesman. Featuring a delicate performance by actor and model Wilson Bazurto, the film reveals the quiet existence of Montserrat, a young man whose life is marked by routine and loneliness.
