Synopsis

Meet the Wallers is a heart-warming journey into the lives of Australian artist Mark Waller and his family. Meet the Wallers is a poignant and intimate documentary that follows the life of Mark Waller, a dreamer and painter who loves to capture the beauty of the seascapes around Lennox Head. Mark's obsession with the idea that charity begins at home clashes with his vivacious wife Nicola, who wishes she were the charity. As Mark struggles to make ends meet as an artist, he often fails to see what's in front of him, including Nicola's battle with depression. Their daughters, Jasmine and Emily, grow up before our eyes, negotiating their parents' issues while juggling their own sibling rivalries. As the family navigates through life's challenges, including Mark's diagnosis with a deadly melanoma, the fault lines in the Waller family erupt with surprising results. Filmed over 20 years, Meet the Wallers is a remarkable keyhole into family life, a meditation on art, mortality, philanthropy, and happiness. Through the lens of this family's struggles and triumphs, the film explores the universal themes of love, loss, and the pursuit of happiness. Meet the Wallers is a touching and thought-provoking documentary that will leave viewers with a greater appreciation for the complexities of family life and the power of love to overcome adversity.—Antidote Films
