Synopsis

At an auction of Aboriginal artefacts a white woman buys the painting of a fish and a Mimi sculpture. Mimis are stick-like spirits which live in rock cracks.

Shortly after bringing them home she discovers that the painting of the fish has changed into a painting of a fishbone.

Other strange things happen. Someone smears red ochre on her walls and when she opens her fridge she finds the Mimi alive and talking to her. She manages to grab her and lock her into a cupboard.

Scared and bewildered she calls in an urban 'weird Aborigine' but when he sees the Mimi he's as scared as her. He calls his mate in the bush and they negotiate that he will get rid of the Mimi if he gets her delivered together with the fridge.

The urban Aboriginal man dresses up traditionally, smokes the Mimi and manages to lock her into the fridge. The bush mate releases the Mimi into her country.

Mimi is a hilarious film rich of stereotypes for both black and white characters. The best medicine if you're tired of too much Aboriginal drama.
