  • SYNOPSIS
  • On the south-east coast of Australia, a punt glides over Merimbula Lake towards an oyster lease with passionate young oyster farmer Dom at the helm. It’s a romantic picture of tranquil beauty and a life close to nature, attuned to the rhythm of the tides. But Dom, partner Pip and the other oyster farmers swear that the water is getting warmer and the storms more severe. The lake is full of that famous gourmet’s delight, the Sydney Rock Oyster, but they take three years to mature and are only one big storm or heatwave away from disaster.  

  • Oyster follows Dom and Pip into their home, their work-shed, out on their punt and into the water to see what it’s like to be raising two energetic young boys, while working big hours to keep a few million oysters alive, and any decision they make to deal with the global pressures of fickle luxury markets, climate change, environmental damage and increasing disease could have far reaching consequences.
