An American named Alexander Fox begins an idyllic new life in the tiny sovereign state of Andorra after a personal tragedy, determined to reinvent himself. But as he becomes entangled in the lives of the mysterious locals, including the retired Australian Mrs. Dent and the matriarch’s daughter Miss Quay, the mystery of Alexander’s origin deepens. When bodies emerge in the harbour, he finds himself in a spiralling crisis of conscience and identity, in a country he may not be able to escape from.

The 1965 Freedom Ride marked a turning point in the Australian civil rights movement when a group of 29 University of Sydney students, led by Charles Perkins, travelled through rural New South Wales to challenge racism and segregation against Aboriginal people. 7 of the Riders were Jewish, including future Chief Justice Jim Spigelman. Intimately observed by director Eliya Cohen, the film documents a commemorative journey in 2025, when Stand Up brought a new generation of Aboriginal and Jewish youth together to recreate the steps of the historic trip, building on the unique allyship between these remarkable communities.
