On a warm St. Valentine's Day in 1900 a group of girls from the exclusive Appleyard College in Victoria picnic at nearby Hanging Rock. Four girls venture forth on their own; one returns as their teacher sets off is search of the others, and like them, disappears without a trace. Michael, a young English tourist, finds one of the girls still alive. She knows nothing though of the whereabouts of her friends and teacher. The mystery of the vanished women at Hanging Rock remains unsolved.Picnic at Hanging Rock, the film that attracted international attention to director Peter Weir and Australian cinema, returns to Taormina after 24 years. Its return is something of an event. Peter Weir will in fact be presenting the director's cut.

Synopsis: Highly acclaimed, dreamy suspense/drama recreates mysterious incident during school outing in turn-of-the-century Australia. A must-see for fans of offbeat fare who don't mind coming away with more questions than answers.
