Radiance
Radiance is a 1998 Australian independent film. It is the first feature film directed by Rachel Perkins, and only the third feature directed by an Indigenous Australian person. It is about three Indigenous sisters who reunite for their mother's funeral, and is based on the 1993 play written by Louis Nowra.
Plot
Three sisters, Cressy, Nona, and Mae, who have not seen each other for a long time, are brought together after their mother dies, to arrange her funeral. Mae wears her mother's wedding dress, while she and Nona argue about what to do with their mother's ashes. They each try to grab the ashes, which then spill all over Cressy.
