A young woman, her alcoholic mother and a West African man find themselves on an unexpected road trip that leads to emotional transformation.

With or Without You marks the debut feature film from talented South Australian writer/director, Kelly Schilling (MaveriX, Two Twisted), starring Melina Vidler (800 Words, Elvis), and Albert Mwangi (Bump, Blueback) with award-winning actress Marta Dusseldorp (Bay of Fires, Janet King, Jack Irish) in a powerful Australian ensemble cast.

Inspired by Schilling’s own experiences, With or Without You tells the mother-daughter story of Chloe (Melina Vidler), a young woman with a traumatic past, who is intent on helping her alcoholic mother, Sharon (Dusseldorp), recover from lifelong addictions.

A series of chance encounters sees Chloe cross paths with Dalu (Albert Mwangi), a struggling West African man. Sparks fly and together, Chloe, Sharon and Dalu find themselves on an unexpected road trip that leads to new possibilities of love and self-realisation, hope and healing.

By turns touching and hilarious, With or Without You is a South Australian road movie with a difference – featuring emotionally compelling performances from Dusseldorp as the free-spirited but troubled Sharon, Vidler as the resilient Chloe and Mwangi as the charismatic Dalu.
