As an Indigenous man weaves through bureaucratic red tape to get to a mortuary service on his traditional country a fight breaks out as another man is consumed with jealous over his wife. The two stories meet in dramatic and explosive final encounter. The Jealous One is based on a traditional story that connects the traditional lands of the Karrabing, but it asks who is the contemporary jealous one, the land, the men, or the settler state?

Premiere:
Valkerij en Sigarenmakerij Museum with support of Frontiers Imaginary, Ed. 5, curated by Vivian Ziherl & the Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority.
