Wanting

In 1841, and in the remote penal colony of Van Diemen's Land, a barefoot aboriginal girl wearing a red silk dress sits for her portrait. She is Mathinna, the adopted daughter of the island's governor, Sir John Franklin, and his wife, Lady Jane. Somewhere in the Arctic, Sir John Franklin has disappeared, along with his crew and two ships.
